spready Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Ive just starting reloading the .222 and looking for advice for the best powders to use. At the moment Im loading the .22 hornet aswell, so have plenty of 40gr vmax and plenty of 40 and 45gr soft nose bullets, also have a few tubs of IMR4227 and whats left of the 243 reloading, which is H4895 and IMR4895 Ideally id like to run the 40gr vmax for most of my vermin shooting as I have a plentiful supply of them. do any of you guys run the .222 with the powders I listed or shall I invest in something else, maybe H335?Any advice would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanieboy Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 40g Vmax is the round of choice for my 223. I use 26g of Benchmark and find it very accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulboy1957 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 My powders of choice for the .222 are H4198 or Accurate 2230, both excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer425 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) H335 with 50 grain bullets i found is accurate in .222s . Edited August 14, 2017 by lancer425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'm using H335 for my .223 at the moment and I'm very pleased with how well it meters through my powder measure. Shoots very consistently. I'm sure it would work very well through a .222. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the enigma Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Using Reloder 10x at the minute, getting good results with 40gr Blitzkings. Also Reloder 7 works well. Edited August 17, 2017 by the enigma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
