22 PPC Competition Loads

[Lucky Shooter]

I understand that during the transition from 222 to 6PPC,
the 22 PPC was the dominant choice for short range BR
competition.

What were the best powders for this 22 PPC ?

Would appreciate information on this.

I had a friend who shot bench rest since 1951 passed recently and I have most of his rifles and ammo....there are 3 rifles in 22 ppc and all of those were loaded with W748 powder

N135 if you can find it.

I built a 22br becuase I had lots of 748 and it seemed a good fit for the 22br. It shot ok but not great. I tried 135 as it was my go to powder in 6br with bullets less than 100 grains. The 135 with 52 or 55 grain bullets brought the 22br to life.It would be my first choice to try in a 22ppc.

I have had good results with IMR8208XBR. Others shoot well with N135. I have 748, guess I should give it a try!

I don't think I've ever owned a 22ppc but LT32 works great in a 220 Beggs. Again, if you can find it.

N135 shoots great in every 22 ppc I personally know about.

Thanks for all the good information.

I started out with H322 and it initially looks pretty good.

Its been a very long time since I've seen any W748 on the shelf.
