[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1072110, member: 82202"] My best groups have been with 23.2 gr of Hogdon Benchmark and the 50gr NBT and Rem 6.5 primers. Remington does not recommend the 6.5 for the 222 but I had no trouble and groups were excellent like 10 in a dime at 100. IMR 4198 is good as well. H335 was Walt Bergers favorite with 52gr Match FB. I would definitely try his recipe. I have tried Benchmark, H335, H322 and IMR 4198. All from my 700 CDL with a 24" BBL VV 133 looks real fast I always found that my 700 did not like to get pushed much past 3000 fps. Is your mannlicher a 20"bbl? If so I would concentrate on the faster burn rate powders like 4198. Good luck and shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
