22 BR powder options for 75gr and up bullets

[Lefty Trigger]

My new Sierra book mostly lists slower powders like RL-16, IMR4451 but I'm finding loads list on here as well as other sites listing powders like N135 and H4895, IMR8208XBR which are a little faster. I have all of these powders available and just received my box of 77gr match kings what powder should I start with for load work up?

I shoot Sierra 77gr TMK in my 22BR pushed by 28.1 grains of IMR 8208 XBR and it works really well in my rifle. The velocity on that load is 3052fps. I found a couple more nodes on up the ladder but I stayed with this one. It wads them up at 300yds.

Thanks, thats the info I'm looking for as I have plenty of that powder. If I could ask,... what primer and are you in the lands or off? How much? My 6BR likes the 70gr match kings about .030 off.

I’m using Fed 205M in this particular load but I like CCI 450’s also but if my memory is right the 205M grouped a little better in this load.
I checked my notes and looks like I’m shoot’n them .005 off.

8208 is a match made in heaven with 75-80 grain bullets! I run CCI-450 primers, .010 into the rifling. Good luck.
