    223 and not 222 but 2206 or winchester 748 work great (and meters awesomely,like BM2) in both the wee case and the 308.

    25gr 2208 (compressed load) + 55gr HDY SP w/c at 3025fps - previous owner's data for a Sako L461. I shot a fair few goats with this load. Currently using 24gr W748 + 55gr Sierra SMP with good accuracy.

    cant remember off top of head, if it was the primers an the bolt lift, or just the bolt lift or just the erradic grops.

    i might re visist the 222 load soon.. an throw some other powders in it.

    @WireWorking just out of curiosity how many gr of 2206h are you running behind the 53gr projectiles?

    I am using 22gr of 2206H, Fiocchi primers hornady projectiles and Lapua cases. The velocity is fairly pedestrian but this load shoots amazingly well out of my CZ 527, for a rifle with a shoelace for a barrel it is still competitive out to 300m
