Varget or H380 for 22-250?

[TaterTot]

I have a couple different loads that my Savage shoots well. One load with a 55 grain V-Max shoots great with H380 and another with a 40 grain Ballistic tip shoots very well with Varget.

Varget all the way. P-dogs in 100 degree temps, coyotes at -20 degrees.

Varget.

My savage likes H380. My savage didn't do to well with varget using 55gr hornady sp.

H380 is supposed to be the magic powder for 22-250, since the 38.0 gr. is the perfect amount of powder with a 50 gr bullet.

My gun shot both well. The H380 meters much better, but I am going with the varget for the temp sensitivity issue. However I haven't had any issues with 380 yet, just haven't shot it in a wide range of temps.

Sorry, neither for me. The H380 was mediocre on accuracy and was very sensative. Varget was horribly unaccurate. XMR4064 for me!

Neither. But depending on the bullet weight. For a 55grn bullet i use 8208 xbr and for a 69 grain bullet i use 4007 ssc. I have varget and h380 and never use it, so it will most likely get dumped.

Started out with H380 with the time proven formula of 38.0g of it and a 55g bullet and that was good for a while.

Discovered Varget and like the lack of temperature sensitivity since my hunting with that 22-250 covers from 105* to 15*.

Fortunately my 22-250 shoots most everything under 55gr well with many different powders including H380 and Varget. However my go to load is 37gr of CFE 223 under a 50gr. vmax, zmax, or varmint extreme at 3,900 fps give or take a few fps. Minimum load, maximum speed, deadly accurate, and cleans up quickly. I love it in 22-250.
