I need a load to shoot in my 222 Sako with the 40 and 45 gr. bullets at 2500 to 2600 FPS for Rock chucks under my barn..as opposed to buying a 22 Hornet..

I have a load for the 40gr Vmax.
Imr 4227 10grs.
WSR
2.15 oal
1961 Velocity This is my turkey load very accurate.
-0- at 75 yrds.

I've used the loads listed for the 223 for my 222 700. They've all worked fine and are accurate in my rifle.

Hornet loads also work.

I did that and ended up using 22 grs of 748, for under a half inch, and at about 2400 to 2500 fps..

I found some H-380 and Leverevolution in Twin today, the first powder to show up in Months..still no primers.
