Powder for heavy bullet .22br

[Doug Beach]

Anyone using a powder slower than Varget/N140 in a heavy (85-90gr) bullet .22br? If so, how is it working out / what kind of velocities are you getting?

I tried RL 15 but had better results with RL 17 with BR4s and 85.5 Bergers.

Any 4350 works well. RL16 is too bulky. 28” HV barrel gets the 90s up to 3050 or more with a .100 freebore or more. The accuracy seems to be 2930-2950 though.

I'm using H4350 with 90smk's @ 2970 on of a 30". Hammers at midrange.
I just shot a ladder with N160 today. Looks promising.
