    You are going the right way with your bullet choice, the A-MAX's are superb in my 22-250.
    What is the charge weight you have used in the 5 rounds so far?

    According to the loading data I have for this powder, the STARTING LOAD weight for 50/52 grain bullets is 24 grains and for 55 grain bullets it is 23 grains

    The MAXIMUM LOADS for both bullet weights respectively are 26 and 25 grns, so this will give you a lot of lee way to find the most accurate load for your rifle.

    H335 is listed as the most accurate powder tested for the 55 grain bullet, so you have made good choices with both components.

    may be stating the obvious but take it youre loading for targets not vermin as v max explode better have used both but at the moment using 50 grn blitz kings (sierras) as they are boat tails and seat easier cheers
