Favorite 22BR Loads

I have a 22BR built by Dan Dowling on an XP-100 action with a Hart 14 twist barrel. Just wondering what types of loads you guys are getting the best groups with for this caliber?

I have a similar rig, Lilja 1/14t, 14 inch on a XP100 action. I have had my best results with 32gr VV135 with a 53gr Hornady Match Bullet. This is a max load so work up carefully!

Thanks for the reply. My 22BR is actually built as a rifle and I have found success with 29.6 gr Benchmark and 52 gr Fowler. I have some 52 gr BIBB bullets ordered to try.

Jarhead,
I just had a varmint rig done by his .244 neck reamer
with the same twist/barrel maker. I have good luck with VV135, BR4 and 52g Berger MEF. starting 32g, 33g is the best accuracy/ performance for my gun.
