    22-250 varmint loads

    I'm about to start some load development for new bunny bazooka. Any suggestions where to start for something to blast bunnies and hares out to far enough to make it interesting? I'm dealing with a 14 twist so lighter end of the projectile spectrum, although I did read an interesting article about how some guys reckon the 14 twist will stabilise up to 62gr you just have to get em going super quick..
    I have Norma brass and projectiles I have at the moment are:

    Hornady 50gr SPSX (apparently more explodey than the normal 50gr SP)

    Hornady 52gr ELDM

    Hornady 50gr VMAX

    Powders on hand:

    2208
    2209
    2213sc
    2225
    Superformance
    Reloder 23
    Reloder 17
    Reloder 15
    IMR 8208 XBR
    ADI Benchmark 2

    The last two powders seem to get thrown around a bit in 22-250 chat, as does CFE 223 but I can't find any of that anywhere. Could go out and source new powders/projectiles if anyone's got a good suggestion.
    Also wouldn't mind working up a load that will work for fallow in within my rifles specs.

    Cheers
