Lt-32 powder for 222?

Has anyone put any loads together for the 222 with lt-32 and 50-52 gr bullets? I picked up a pound of it thinking it may suite the duece well. Curious how it will compare to n133.

I loaded the 55 gr bullet and it was quite accurate
 
It will suit it very well, start off at 19.5g and work up with a thick cup primer
Started at 20 gr and worked up to 21.5 in my new tikka t3 forrest. This put 5 52 gr bergers in about a .430 group. No pressure signs at all and actually looks like .5 gr more would tighten it up more. Very impressed with this powder as well as this gun. I hoped it would be as accurate as the old sako 222 vixens, and it sure is. I think with some load development it will have no problem shooting some groups deep in the .3s. Impressed to say the least for a gun at this cost.
