As Barrelsniffer says, N140 is a better bet N133 is best suited to lighter bullets and your velocities will be on the low side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rem700 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Also using 24gr N140 with 69gr Tmk in my .222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Also using 24gr N140 with 69gr Tmk in my .222 rem,does your 222 have a fast twist to stabilise the 69s-I've had factory 222s that didn't like 60 g bullets. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbal Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Rem,thanks-shame there isn't much choice to give some extended life to the 222-still,it's a great little cartridge as is,hard to beat for small targets/quarry to 250y. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
