Thread: advice on .222 loads

Like you Waynesworls I was running plenty of 55 gr projectiles in my .223 and when I bought my first .222 (Sako A1 and then a L461) I wanted to keep it simple and just stick with one prokectile.

I found in my rifles I couldn't get either of them to group with AR2206H or BM2 which I have plenty on hand.

I then tried some Hornady 50 gr projectiles and I was away so it's really going to come down to whether your barrel likes the 55's or not which I hope it does som that way you get to keep everything simple..

A mate who has shot a shit load of deer with his .222's uses 50 gr Targex projectiles with AR2208 powder

Yeah 100% on that, I think that is how it will play out. I will see how they run and go from there. I don’t remember rifles been so bloody picky. Sometimes the more you know the less you know.
