.222 load for 50 grain bullets

[MrMajestic]

I don't think my loads are really hot, no pressure signs, but I'm getting 3350 with a 52g and 4198 out of an older Sako walking varmint rifle.

Let's at least call this the high node! ;D
I had N133 up to 3400+ fps w/52's from a 24" tube but was very hard on the brass. I could get what you are getting with no signs but dropped down to 3250 for a node that allowed me to gets some longevity from my Lapua cases.
Bet yours hits hard!

Rel7, and H322 with either the Speer 50g TNT, or Hornady 50g spsx. I've killed a bunch of woodchucks with both.

Nice groups! This is a fun cartridge.

I use 23.5g H-322 in a Sako case with Federal 205M ignition and 50gr. V-Max. Groups .260" at a hundred with an average velocity of 3360fps. out of a 24inch Sako barrel with Vixen action. Great velocity with great brass longevity.

My goto load is a 52 hpbt over 19.8 IMR 4198. I have never shot it over a chrono but I guess it is moving about 3000 fps. I have taken a few coyote and fox with that combo in a ole Remington 700 BDL deluxe.
