I'm too impatient for 5 shot groups plus a 3shot gives me a really good idea.
rifle is ruger m77 with 24" heavy barrel. 1-14twist
I want speed and accuracy it is a 22-250
it isn't going to be a 100yard gun. that's why I want my groups to shrink so when I go out to 400-500yards I will still be able to hit a 2" target.
I also know with alot of guns that when you add powder the groups get bigger and then the groups start to shrink again to a certain extent. and if i used a lighter bullet/same powder I will get higher velocities but will lose out on the benefits of a heavier bullet.

Is anyone getting .25" groups with their 22-250 at 100yards with a factory rifle?

Your groups are pretty good but you may be able to make them slightly better if you try switching to IMR4064 powder the loads are almost identical between Varget and IMR4064 but you may find that it shrinks your groups a bit.

I did and now exclusively use 36grs IMR4064 powder with 55gr bullets in my 22-250.

Good luck...

55gr Nosler BT's over a max (book) load of Varget would yeild a consistant 0.5 - 0.6moa in my Rem 700 BDL .22-250 (1:14" twist)

something you might want to try. I sold it to RickF. should have never sold it
