22 BR and fast to slow powders

bpost

I had a 22 Hornet barrel for an Encore rechambered by mrbruce to 22 BR. I am very happy with 31.5 varget pushing a 52 Berger match bullet. It is now sub MOA from a break action rifle with a blued standard weight barrel. [:D]

However; I want to explore the powders that are suitable for this round a bit more. Has anyone used slow for caliber powder in the cartridge with 55 grain bullets? I also want to try VV 133 that is a tad faster than 4198. I can't find any load info for this powder using 40 -55 grain bullets.

Any data-imput is appreciated.

Mk 19

Here are some great loads and info about the 22BR:

It does not answer your question, but I hope it will provide a few answers to questions you have not asked.

My 22BR loves benchmark, AA2230C and WW748. Actually likes the WW748 the best with 1/8 inch groups at 100 yards...the other two a little better than 1/4 inch. All three are great powders in my 22BR.
