22BR with AR Comp or other powder suggestions

[woodrwo]

I'm just starting to collect components to start developing for 22BR. Anyone have any experiences with AR Comp and 22BR?

On hand I have H4895, IMR4895, and TAC. Anyone want to mention their favorites? I hear Benchmark is great for the cartridge.

for some reason i started using slightly slower powders when i was working up loads for my 12 and 14 twist 22 BRS. n 540 was a definite winner with 63 and 64 gr bullets in the 12 twist. n 140 was perfect for 60 gr bullets in the 14 twist. 52 gr bulles seemed to prefer the faster stuff...benchmark, n133. my 22 BRS are varmint guns, so i load the heavier bullets. really fun guns.

Benchmark is my best powder with 50 grain bullets hands down. V-n130 and H322 are a close second. 8208 does real well with 52 thru 60 grainers. The V powders, n133, n135 and n140 are good with 60 to 65 bullets. Above those, Barger does the trick..at least for me ;D
