kbtfowler 2 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Anybody know of a good load for a .222 using benchmark powder? Andy Quote Link to post
jamie g 17 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 sorry mate never used that in mine. i think if you want to push a 40 or 50 grain bullet in the 222 your better off looking at some powder which is abit faster then benchmark. like vit 133 or reloader 7 powder Quote Link to post
activeviii 8 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Im useing benchmark in 222. hole on hole @ 100 will do me. 21.5gr benchmark 52gr A-max cci400 primer PPU brass all loaded with lee loader and lee podwer scales. nothing else. dont even need to clean the brass. top load for the above was 25gr so i started with starter load of 20.5gr.

Andy Is that with BM powder. whats your group like at 200. im about to drop the 52 A-Max and look to load lighter to say a 40gr just to see how it plays as i have had one or two rounds that im not quiet happy with. and the group has dropped a little.
