According to my manuals(speer#14, ADI & Nick Harvey) for Varget or ADI 2208, the starting charge for 55gr pills in .22-250 is 34gr to a max of 36.5.
You may want to check your load data!
Just conducted load testing on the weekend with 55gr Nosler B/Tips & my best groupings were with 35 & 35.5gr out of 26" 1:14 twist. So now I'm doing smaller increments between those two charges at the same OAL then once I find my best group from that I'll start to fiddle with the seating depth if necessary.
