| HB, I have found that 32.0 gr IMR 3031 with 53 gr Sierra Match HP is the most accurate load for my 22-250 rifle. It's almost too easy to shoot 0.5" 10 shot groups (sometimes I have an off day, but I can't blame it on the rifle). BigBullet |

| I tried it once results weren't bad,but not the most accurate in my rifle. The group on the right is 3031 under a 52 hornady match.  |

| HB,
I used imr 3031 for years in 22-250,shoot my best group ever with it.I use 33grs with either 50-55gr sierras and they always stay under half inch. |

| My Winchester 22/250 likes 34gr of IMR-3031 with 52gr SMKs. 36gr of IMR-4064 with 52 SMKs is best of all in mine.

The same as imr 4895.Quick story as to why that is why I use 3031.Bought new remington 700 22-250 in 1988.After getting all the loading items,ask owner what powder I should start with.He pointed to an 80 something yeare old man,and siad talk to him,he has forgot more about 22-250 than I will ever know.The man said.imr 3031 with 50-55gr sierras.Sure glad I took the advise,endedup being my best loads. |
