Well I'll have to go get some then. .628 is a hell of a group. I'll be using 50gr V-Max's at 2.473" OAL and probably 1gr under max as a starting point. I might run out first thing in the morning and get some Benchmark and make a few loads and shoot them tomorrow if it isn't raining. Maybe if I get some good results we can start building a good reputation for this powder in the .22-250Rem. Were you using neck sized or FL sized brass? All my fireformed brass is loaded at the moment, so I'll just have to use brand new brass.
