That load is in the box waiting to be shot, ADKWOODSMAN. I loaded 4064 with hornady 52gr bthp's at three different powder levels, 5 rounds each. Total I have 100 rounds loaded for accuracy testing, just waiting for my ffl guy to get back from the shot show in vegas so he can order me a scope. I'll post a picture when it's all put together.
 
Tarvis, do you have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and have also completed Marine Corps scout/sniper school at Quantico, VA? I have, and I fully understand how this stuff works, thank you. I'm not one to spend bookoo bucks on a scope that will preform as well as a cheap one. Maybe you miss judged me when you thought I was "telling" you how to do somthing. I was merley recomending (yes, that does mean my preference) haha, I'm sorry to have rained on your parade if you will, but I was only trying to help. I hope your trip sucks. :p
 
I run 37.5 grs of H380 with the 55gr. VMax out of a Tikka and that is a tack driver. Dime size groups consistantly at 100yds. I have not seen weather be a factor in this load here in ND. I use H380 in a Savage .243 and have had excellent results there with Hornandy bullets also. I would like to see some of your groupings when you get everything up and running. Thanks.
 
I bought a blemished Leupold vxIII that was blemished for $600, but sold it to my dad and am going to have a guy I know with a FFL order me a scope and add $50 for his time so I get a good price on the scope I want.
 
Gentleman just my opinion but I feel a good mounting system is far more important than a brand name or amount paid for scope on a hunting rifle.
 
Accurate load

Hello
Can someone give me a very accurate load for a thompson prohunter 22-250 26" barrell. Thanks
 
chrisshingleton, welcome to the site. Did you read the 2 pages of this thread? There are many good recommended loads that's yours for the reading. If it's not enough, start a new thread with your questions.

trust me, neck sizing will make a difference.
.... um, I do neck size in my STANDARD full length resize die. Also, you said yourself that you were new to reloading... I think I'll trust a book.

if you full length size your ammo you might as well sell all your reloading stuff and buy factory ammo becuase thats basically what your loading.
Ok, now I really know you don't know what youre talking about. Handloading is cheaper, relaxing, AND more accurate. Don't tell me what to do.

You have too much money... the main thing you get with that price range of scopes is clairity. It wont make your groups smaller or make you a better shooter. why spend that much money on glass when you can spend a fraction of the cost of a high dollor scope and the cheaper one does the same thing.
Ok dude, I think you've said enough. If you get more clarity (i.e. a scope you can see through), it's not the same thing as a cheapo. No, I don't have too much money, this trip is very important to me and I want to bring good gear so I don't get stuck in Wyoming with some **** scope that doesn't do the job or doesn't hold a zero. I'm not buying a scope to be a better shooter or have smaller groups... where do you come off telling me how it is? Are you Jeff Cooper?

Seriously though, you are detracting from the informational quality of this thread. I am trying to see what other people think for ****s and giggles and you come here, tell us you're new to reloading, and then start preaching your "wisdom" which is turning out to be nonsense. You obviously haven't been shooting long or you wouldn't be discouraging me from reloading or buying the gear I want based on YOUR preference. If you're happy with cheapo crap scopes, High Five; you're a great guy. I want something better, which is apparently beyond your comprehension. You must have no idea what they do at the nightforce factory to test thier scopes.

Does anything I've said make sense? Do you realize that your advice is just your opinion and in most cases, completely worthless? If not, go boil your bottom or something, stop ruining my thread.
k wasnt pickin an choosin quote outta that lol sure you can nack size with a full length die..... by buying factory he ment the accurack will be comparable..... its still cheaper to reload.neck sizing creates even MORE accurate, custom cases for your rifle in particular... full length size if you want for 3+guns. i use a cheap 65 dollar scope 4-16X40mm and adjustable focus w/mildot reticle from walmart on my 22 mag and it does fine to 350+yds.

I am trying to see what other people think for ****s and giggles and you come here, tell us you're new to reloading
lol double quoted it, sorry....i think h said since spring.
im an relitively new to this. I started reloading last spring. I really did my homework
.. thats nearly a year and i guess by homework he read the books too. jus wanted to point that out couldnt stand it, an if its for shi*s an giggles dont get so up tight about it, you ask for info and you get it but it isnt what you want to hear so ya freak? have an opened mind ...but not so opened yer brains fall out:neener:
 
36/Barnes HP @ .030 off the lands over 40/Varget in WW cases, Fed LR primers = 3/8 moa @ 4100 fps.
 
My .22-250 is a Savage with the 1 in 12 twist stainless barrel. It shoots 55 gr. V-Max really well with IMR 4064, Reloder 15, Varget and Big Game. V-Max seems to shoot a little better than 55 gr. Blitzkings or Nosler B-Tips but the difference could easily be the shooter. I'm not complaining, but it takes some of the fun out of reloading when all the powders and bullets shoot the same. These rifles are great.
