Max. load of Vihtavuori N133, for exact amount see the www.lapua.com website, bullets either Speer or Sierra SPT 50 grains or 55 grains. N133 is more much more precise in my rifle (Anschuetz) than the RL12 I used before. Regards, D.

Loading some for a friend who has one, I second the use of RL 7 in this case. Best balance of accuracy and velocity of any powders tried with a 40 grain Nosler or Sierra.

Congratulations on picking an accurate caliber and you will not find any problems finding a good load.

VVN133 and IMR4895 with 40 gr.V-Max bullets have produced some excellent groups in my 222.

Good shooting!!!
