With most of the best powder options so difficult to get, selecting a "best" powder from what you already have is probably the better question asked. For velocity, I like RL17 in my 22-250 but I've also used plenty of H414, 4895, and H380 over the years too. RL16 and the new RL15.5 should work well also. If you have or can get any of those they will serve you well.

firehunt77 New Member Registered: 07/06/18 Posts: 12 Loc: Kansas	I used Varget for many years until it became hard to find. Since then I switched over to Staball 6.5. I really like the velocity it produces and it is very easy to load. It's my "go to" for my 22-250.
