Thread: advice on .222 loads

My 222 shoots both 55gn Nosler/Hornady's, and 63gn Sierra's pushed along by either Win748, or 2207. Have you tried some loads using the 55gn projectile you are planning on buying? If you are yet to develop a load, I can send you some Noslers or Hornady's to try first. Then buy in bulk.

Thanks Husky, I have not loaded anything as of yet but I am running bulk 55gn through my .223 and want to use the same. It's all about economics lol. What is the advantage of 2207 over 2208? I appreciate the offer for you to send some down, that is really kind of you. I will load a few 55gn with 2208 and see how it goes first however. From a bit of googling, I was worried they were a wee bit on the heavy side.
Thanks again
