Anybody like to share starting loads for a 17-222 ?

I came across a Sako L461 with a 17-222 barrel recently that I couldn't pass. There are some old loads that came with it but I am not sure what they are.
I got the dies with it too so now I need to try it out.

What would you start with? I have N133, H322, H335, Varget, 760, 10x, IMR 4198 here. Hopefully one of them will work.

I use N133 in the .17 Fireball and the .222 Remington. Sounds like the perfect fit for a .17/.222! ;D

N-133 in a .20 Bobcat(.20-222 imp.) you should ask over at saubier.com,i know there are .17-222 shooters over there.

Loading N135 in my 17 Javelina w/25 V-Max, almost same case capacity as the 17-222, according to P.O. Ackley's book the load data is interchangeable..

May want to look at some load data for the 17-204. It's what most guys are calling the 17-222 now. They're the same round as far as i know.

The 17-204 would be basically the same as the 17-222 Magnum.. big difference from the 17-222..
