    My rifles are 6mm Rem, not .244, but the difference involves only rate of rifling twist; for 80-gr. bullets, there is no practical difference.

    Anyway, I get good results with 40 gr. IMR 3031. Haven't chrongraphed it, but average group size is under an inch in two rifles. I get slightly larger groups with 41 gr. IMR 4320, but your rifle might like that load better.

    I am still experimenting, so don't consider these as definitive recommendations, just suggestions. Here is a definitive recommendation, though: be sure to work up from lower charges.

    I shoot a lot of 80 grain Fowlers out of my 6mm's with a 10 twist.
    H-4350 has always been good with it.......
