  With a little practice and a calm day, crows should not be safe out to 350 yards with those reloads. Good for you, bad for crows. Keep after 'em.

  I love my 22-250. I use the 8208 XBR and 50gr or 55gr VMAX with excellent results. Perhaps I should play with Varget, too.

  How much 8208 with the 55gr?

  I use Varget for my 45 grain Barnes TSX loads and it groups very well too. Varget is such a great all around powder. [:)]
