.222 rem loads

[scaramanga69]

Hi, do any of you guys that have the latest Sierra reloading manual possibly be able to tell me what the starting load and max load are for the sierra 53gr HP Matchking using VV N133 in .222 of course.

Cheers

Start 20.5 max 22.5, May I suggest getting a manual. It's money well spent and will last you years.

Hi, thanks very much for your reply, yes of course you are right and I do have the sierra manual on order, I am in the UK and I have ordered the manual direct from sierra so it will be quite a while before it gets here through customs and so on, just thought Id get a heads up on the listed load beforehand, my other 2 manuals dont give me a listing for this bullet powder combination.

Cheers

My OLD, OLD,[1970's] taack driving loads for .222 are not what you want to use. 52 or 53 grain bullet:
4198----19.0 grains
Bal-C2--22.5 grains
These loads were TACK DRIVERS then and should be today.
