No 22BR, I can’t ever see me being without one…..or two ;-)

The accurate reloading guide shows it only with the 95 gr berger which wont stabilize in a 14 twist so id say no.

From Hodgdon: "Accurate 2520 is a medium burning, double-base, spherical rifle propellant designed around the 308 Winchester. 2520 is our “Camp Perry” powder and is extremely popular with many service shooters. 2520 also performs extremely well in 223 Remington with heavy match bullets (62 to 80 grain). This versatile powder has superb flow characteristics and is well within the threshold limit for the M14 systems. Made in the USA."Accurate 2520 is a medium burning, double-base, spherical rifle propellant designed around the 308 Winchester. 2520 is our “Camp Perry” powder and is extremely popular with many service shooters. 2520 also performs extremely well in 223 Remington with heavy match bullets (62 to 80 grain).

It should work, though I don't know about well. It's in the right range, but sounds like it's on the slower side of ideal.

2520 turned out to be the most accurate powder in one of my 22 BR's

interestingly I have a 22 ppc sized wildcat that uses 30 grns of AA-2700 as its most accurate powder
so with AA-2700 being even slower than 2520
I would say yes, work up a load

it might not be an optimum powder for your PPC, but I've been surprised by a powder more than once
