Vhitavouri for a .222 ?

[malkiserow]

Vhit is comparatively easy to get around where I live. What has been your experience in using Vhit for the .222 and which bullets were you loading with it?

 

 

[Guest stevo]

I cant speak for viht . But i always use varget in my .22s upto 55 grn heads with fantastic results .

[dipper]

Use vit 133 with 52 speers hp/bt 20'5 To 22'5 also have data for vit 120 for 40 , 45. 50 grain bullets.Dipper

[bunny_blaster]

Those Speer's were one of my favourites too.

I use Viht N133, and N135 in my .223 Rem, due to getting fed-up with the poor supply of Hodgdon's.

Sub .5" 4 shot groups at 100 yards, with N133 and 52 A-max. And consistent sub .5" groups with N135, with 55 V-Max. My best group being .2" with 4 shots. It was a perfect day mind.....

Never have an issue with supply, and in my case it works out cheaper than the Hodgdon's I used...

Have fun!

I would go as far as to say that N130 is THE powder for the 222.

I have used a lot of it in the 222, with 40, 50, 52 and 55 grain bullets.

Just found a old guns and ammo and it states the best powders to us in '222 There are 7 powders .John Cargill technical liaison for vihtavuori states for the 222. It is vv n133. Dipper.

[mick miller]

Pretty sure we're using n140 in my mates 222, will take a look at the loading data later (it may be n130).

[Bewsher500]

N133 with everything from 45-60gr

 

only shifted to H4350 because the new sako didnt like Vhit

[Jaymo]

N133 and 52's for me in my CZ527

[mick miller]

I lied. 40gn Sierra hollow points, CCI primer and 21.2gns of Viht N130.

That is a shame,,,,, I've loads of N140

[malkiserow]

There is a reference to N120 above but nobody seems to be using it....... ?

[activeviii]

They are not usinv 120 for a reason, n130 is the perfect powder. No need to look many further. The powder, bullets and rifle will out shoot you so Stop questioning and get out and shoot the bleedy thing.

 

 

 

Lmao

don't discount it

A .222 aficionado once told me he uses N140 exclusively

"fill the case and seat a bullet"

its slow enough to be perfectly possibly

some of my lighter 40-50gr rounds are all compressed loads with N133

[Woodlander]

N130 with 50gr Blitzkings.

[markfromholland]

I have a 223 with 1 in 12 inch twist, 20" barrel.

n130 with sierra 45gr varminter is excellent.

222 is a a very accurate caliber

[malkiserow]

Thanks lads, I got some n130 in the end and it likes this powder when pushing 52 grain Amax

 

Funny thing is the accuracy nodes are exactly max and min powder weights in a range of bullet weights

[Bewsher500]

its usually the case when the range is so small 2gr or 10% is not really a range

glad it works

The T3 in .222 is a wonderful rifle, I am really glad I got it
