h335
my 222 likes h335 and 52 gr sierras the powder charge is moderate not max. I don't give out specific charge weights
I fear I might have a typo and cause some one a problem, so look in your load book for charge weights. I also seat out very close to the rifling and weight sort my brass and neck size. bb |

I tried a lot of different powders in the 222, IMR 4198 was the best for 50, 52, 53, and 55 grain bullets.
