I am not familular with that rifle but here is aload I shot for years with my .22-250.
and allways got good results on every thing
I shot with it.



55 grain winchester soft point
41.0 grains of Hodgdon H414
CCI #250primer


Mostly win chester cases were used and I got 12-15 loads with each before they had to be discarded.


I had a Smith@Wesson #1500 bull barrel that ALWAYS shot this load under 3/4" at 100 yards.


Good luck you picked a good caliber thumb

Great gun for the money!!

I have used 35.5 gr. of varget with 50 gr. v-max bullets seated to a col of 2.450" and they work great. I also am using 40.5 gr. of H-380 with the same bullet but I use a cci 250 primer with it. It is a toss up as to accuracy with each. Both loads shoot .5" or better 5 shot groups at 100 meters. It is a kick butt PD load.
