LT 32 and a 222

Guys I can't seem to find any load data for suing LT-32 in my 222 using a 52 grn match bullet if anyone has any load data or info on a start and max load it sure would be appreciated.
Since my 222 likes Benchmark and VV 133 and all the BR guys has praised the LT-32 I wanted to give it a try as well.

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to you all.

Start 19gr, max is around 21.5-ish grains - your rifle will tell you what the max is.
 
Thanks I needed more less a good starting load. Accurate don't even show this powder in there load data for the 222 so it had me digging for info.
 
Here's a link to the only LT-32 data that I could find. http://accuratepowder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/LT-32-Data.pdf
There isn't any data for the .222, but you could easily estimate a starting load. I tried LT-32 in .223, and shot it from my AR-15. I only shoot at 100 yards so your results may vary, especially at longer ranges. Loading behind a Hornady 55 gr fmj-bt bullet, I tried from 19 grains to 22 grains of LT-32 in 1 grain increments. Group size is the same for all charge levels and they all have the same zero. Maybe that's why it is so popular, very forgiving. That and the fact that it meters like a ball powder.
