griffshrek Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hello all some advice off you .222 shooters out there, a friend of mine has been given an immaculate Sako Vixen in .222 (lucky so&so) I currently reload several calibers for myself one being the .204 with x10 (I love my 204) I believe the .222 Vixen is a 1/14 twist so if im right best suited for the 45-50gr ? anybody out there have any good bulletpowder load combo ? regards...Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 If my memory serves me right 25 grains Blc2 behind a 50 gr sierra worked well. Or how about 20 grains reloader 7 behind a 40 gr sierra hp p.s. think these were varminters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22/250 foxer Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 40 grain blizking with 19.5 grains of reloader 7 shot superb in mine when i had it for a short time. not the fastest of loads but bloody accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eighteen of 4198 held many records with a 53 grain match bullet.~Andrew 5 shots with 22.5 IMR 3031 and a Speer TNT 50 grn HP, 100yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeh, I could live with that Andrew I've told my main gunsmith that I have --first-- refusal on his Vixen if he ever decides to sell it. I always had a woody for those as a kid. Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
