Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Favorite 222 Remington loads for Tikka T3

I have two Tikkas chambered in 222 Rem. A hvy barrel and a lovely T3 Lite coyote rifle. They both shoot well with either H322, 4198 or LT-30 and 40 gr. bullets. My first load of 20 grains of IMR4198 with any 50 grain bullet still works great. Pressures are so mild. I still have 200 Rem cases that are over 30 years old, but have been shooting Lapua for many years because of the snob factor.

It's hard to find a bad load. There are all great or outstanding ones. I find myself shooting 40 grainers almost exclusively now.

My overall favorite caliber of all time. Some good information here and I'm glad to see lots of discussion on it. thanks.
