Anyone tried the New juices for 222 Rem

[manitou210]

Pulled my old 70s Rem700 HV 24" 222 I always shot Win 748 with 53gr Sierras MK very accurate load.
but what about the new powders that supposedly are not heat sensitive like some said Win 748 is.
Benchmark, Varget,VihtaVuotri 500 series,Tac, 10x, & RL series powders

Varget is a bit slow for the 222. Benchmark should be pretty good. I still think one of the the best powders for the 222 is H4198. Regards, Bill.

Nosler listed H335 as most accurate for the 223 55gr and even seen it listed for my 30-06 and 308

My 222 Remington 788 shoots very well indeed with: W748, Benchmark, IMR4198, IMR3031, RL7, H322, Vihtavuori N133, N135, H335, AA 2230 and AA2015, but the best overall is a powder that is no longer in production...Reloder 12. Doesn't seem to care which bullet in the 40-55 grain area I shoot. Stuff it over RL12 and shoot some fine groups. Of course, the crows hate it! LOL Good thing I have a few pounds laid in.
Regards, Eagleye

I use H335 and H322 both seem to work very well

I always get smaller groups with 4895 powder in any .222 I have ever used.

 

[prosper]

the surplus WC-735 from higginsons works very very well

Another vote in favour of H335. Combined with a 40 gr. Ballistic Tip, it's a five-shot-one-hole wonder in my triple duece (sporter weight Sako Vixen).

H322 is my standard powder for all bullet weights from 36-50gr in my 222's

BL-C(2) & Rx-7 are #2 and #3.

Also have sweet reduced v target loads using Unique for punching paper at 50yds.
