Vince Green Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Isn't it funny how long it has taken to break down the barriers about Privi ammunition. For years all it ever got was slagged off by people who were paying double the price for other brands and couldn't see how anything that much cheaper could be any good. Some of the dealers were as much to blame, one dealer I used to use a lot told me he would never stock it as it was "cheap muck" and I shouldn't put it through my rifle. Then Fred the NRA armourer sold me some and told me people were getting really good scores with it. I tried it and it worked really well. It was cheaper than my reloads then, its not quite so now. For years my reloading gear sat idle but I now use the cases for developing low power loads which is my current project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I use to load with a lee hand loaded tool, the one you smack the primers in with a hammer, pour in powder and then smack the bullet in. 1/2" @ 100 meters cant get much cheaper than that. I still load for the .222 but with a press. benchmark start load, cci primer, ppu brass and 52gn a-max. some of my brass is on tenth loading. I do not agree with some on here that you need all the gear and top price this that and other. its the marketing that has caught most of them. keep it simple and enjoy what you do, forget chasing the perfect load, leave that for mugs with money or no sense. hehe. +1 used nothing other than Lee Loader for .222,.22/250 and .243 for many years,always had superb results.I do use a primer tool and measure powder charge on scales though. A very simple cost effective bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ive already got presses, dies, scales and everything else I need, but thanks for all the info. I found a starting load of 19.5 and a maximum of 21.4 grains of H4198 with a 40 grain V-max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Just as an extra point, I would like to add that anyone who tries this load data, does so at their own risk. I will not be held responsible for any damage or injury caused by using the above information. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
