B17GRe: 22-250 Rem
I agree with the other guys recommendations, however in two of my 22/250s (a Ruger VT and a custom Barrel Model 70)
the powder that beats them all for accuracy is Reloader 7.
I found the load data in the 47th Edition of Lymans manual.
25 grains of IMR 4198 has also been the second most accurate. I used 224 Weatherby data to find it. However playing at the range with different loads these two won out Hands Down.
Cheers and happy holidays

Ackley Improved UserI like 40 grs of W760 behind a 55 gr. bullet - esp. Nosler BT. I have a 26" barrel and vel = 3750 fps with ~58,000 psi. This is plenty HOT, accurate, and not a tremendous barrel burner. I highly recommend this load. Remember, you can shoot a barrel out with a 22-250.
