I've tried many, many powders in the 22-250Rem and have never found one that has given me full case fill plus acceptable velocity. For example, IMR 4350 has given me the best case fill but the velocity is terrible with this powder. Benchmark gives me the desired velocity and accuracy, but the charge barely comes to the shoulder of the case.

Is there a powder out there that I just haven't tried yet that has great case fill and great velocity in the 22-250Rem? I would love to find a ball powder that would go about 3/4 of the way up the neck, and also give me the velocity I crave!
