22-250 Powder Selection?

I am interested in what powder has given good results with A sierra blitzking 50gr bullet. I want to stay in the hodgdon extreme powders.

4895 is an old standby in .22-250. Many shooters have settled on it, although there are certainly a number of other good powders for this caliber.

I am using Varget in 2 out of 3 .22-250's. The third one uses IMR 4064.

H380 - H414. Especially if you're loading for pairie dogs. Both of these powders meter spot on.

Thanks for the info. Does anyone have experience with benchmark and the 50 blitz, I am looking for 3900 fps.
