AA2200 is what I use now, for 20 and 25 grain loads. It has given the best accuracy, while still getting good velocity as well.

I am shooting 12.0-12.4 for the 25gr Berger Match Varmint and 13.0 for the 20gr V-Max. 25's are at 1.715 OAL and the 20's are at 1.720"
 
I use AA1680 but some use Hodgdon LIL'Gun I tried lil'gun but found it's not very good in hot weather,be very careful
Go to the Google Search at the top of this page, there is a lot of good info there.

Been using H4198 with 11.8grs with the 20gr V-max and 11.1grs with 23gr WDC and 25gr hp. Finally found some 1680 but haven't had a chance to work up loads with it. I'm using a CZ527.
 
9.5 gr. of lil-gun works great for me under the 20 gr. v-max and the loads that I load for a buddy of mine is 11.1 gr. of 1680 under the 20 gr. v-max.
