22-250 Ack. Imp. with 80 grain Berger Bullets
So far the most accurate load that I have in my rifle which has a 1-8" twist 24.5" lg. barrel.

80 grain Berger VLD bullets.
Winchester cases and neck sizing of the fireformed brass.
Federal match primers.
41.0 grains of Reloader 22 powder.

With this combination, by rifle will do 1" to 2" (3 shot) groups consistently at 600 yards on a still day.
Oh yes, I seat the bullets to crush the lands about 0.010" as this seems to help accuracy.
This load gives 3225 fps on a chronograph set up 10 ft from the muzzle.

I also tried Reloader 19 powder, Sierra 69 grain Matchkings, Sierra 77 grain Matchkings but did not get as small groups with any of these components.
