[QUOTE="brian b, post: 77458, member: 2797"] garrett's dad, this is just my opinion so you might disagree but I love big heavy bullets with hi B.C. #'s (300gr MK's in my 338 Lapua mag imp.),but in my Remington 40x .222rem I go exactly the opposite for one reason FUN FACTOR. with 40grainer's you can blow critter's up and in my rifle shoot much better than 55's. the load I am currently using is a Lapua case ,win primer,40gr BT bullet with 23gr N130 powder. this load shoots at3593 av. vel. through my Oehler chrono and will shoot sub .25 moa all day long. on the other hand 55gr bullets just poke holes in critters with out much fan fare at 500fps slower. You mentioned h322 as a powder to try and it works well in all bullet weight's for a .222 , Win748 seems to be a bit slow for this round but will still work. N130,N133,RL7 and benchmark gave best velocity and accuracy in my gun. I'm not saying to forget 55's but dont forget about trying 40's. Have fun,B [/QUOTE]
