IMR 4064 in 222

[codybrown]

I believe I'm going to scrap the idea of 4064 and just get a better proven powder. When it boils down to it, a keg of powder that is proven is a lot less expensive compared to my time and the hassle of trying to make something work.

N133, 2460, 748, tac, xterminator. Measure nice.
4064 like choppin firewood.

N133+ Berger 55 gr FB target or varmint bullet + Lapua brass = superb accuracy and velocity in my .222's
McGowan 24" barrel.

How could you be sure ? When i test powders many times the results are opposite my expectations.

The only way to be sure is to try things for yourself. That’s what I did in both of the 222’s that I’ve owned.

I’ve still got about 48# of AA2200 Data powder that I bought obviously a bunch of years back. It shoots outstanding in my deuce. As good as 322, 2015 Br., and 4198. The new production AA2200 would be high on my list to try as would AA2230 AA2460. Really the deuce is cheap to shoot, how many 22 grain charges can you get out of 7,000 gr.?

318... I like the accuracy and recoil from the .222. You can see your hits. With crows esp. I got to see the red mist and feathers.
