.222 loading advice

[Spready]

Ive just starting reloading the .222 and looking for advice for the best powders to use. At the moment Im loading the .22 hornet aswell, so have plenty of 40gr vmax and plenty of 40 and 45gr soft nose bullets, also have a few tubs of IMR4227 and whats left of the 243 reloading, which is H4895 and IMR4895

Ideally id like to run the 40gr vmax for most of my vermin shooting as I have a plentiful supply of them. do any of you guys run the .222 with the powders I listed or shall I invest in something else, maybe H335?

Any advice would be appreciated

I am away at the moment and so no access to my notes or powered store, but think I am currently using IMR 4198 under various bullets with good results. Was using H322 until I ran out and switched to 4198 as I had this for my .17 Rem FB.

 

Getting low here too, so thinking of looking at RS40, as have had good success with RS50 in my .308 and 7.5x55.

And it is a good price per Kg.

I have loaded many, many rounds of 222 with H-4895. Works fine. IMR will work as well. Good velocities and low pressures.~Andrew
