<Hal S>22-250 using 40, 55, and 63 grainers
The rifle is a Remington M700 with 24" barrel. Remington brass and CCI 200 primers. I use the the 40's for rabbits and similar sized varmints, 55's for coyote sized animals, and 63's for feral hogs and such. All of these loads will shoot 1/2" groups if I do my part.

As always, reduce loads by 5-7% and work up. These loads do not show any pressure signs in MY rifle.
