Varget and IMR 4064 are the best powders for the 22-250 Savage that I have. 55 grainers wouldn't stabilize except at max velocity. The 2 favorite loads are:

50 gr. Vmax over 35 gr Varget and CCI 200 primer, not fast but consistent tight groups

40 gr. Blitzking over 35 gr. 4064 and WLR primers. 3900 fps 3/8 inch groups every time.

These loads are below max published loads and work well in my rifle.
