I could really use some quick load info for 222 remington
bullets are the 45 grain tsx, the 50 grain ttsx, and the 53 grain tsx. I am leaning towards the 45 grain bullet but am still thinking about the others.
what are the powders that look best...
thanks drew

some of the bullet manufacturers will send you quick load for their products. I'm not ashamed to ask for it.

H322 would be a good candidate. It consistently placed high for all three weights in the list of recommendations when I queried for powders.

I tried reloaders nest and apparently there aren't many people out there shooting tsx bullets in .222

You want to get Quickload information? Buy Quickload! Or ask someone who has QL. Wait, that's what you did. Try some H335.

222 Remington. Hodgdon site. Nosler #6 and Sierras latest are right with it too.

Isnt it amazing that the powder charges for these 45 and 53 gr bullets are so close to the quickload figures for the TSX? Hmmm strange isnt it.

Gotcha.. I have an old hodgdon manual that lists h4198 and imr 4198 as being a good powder for the 45 grain bullets.
The new hodgon site says that you can go to 3200 with the cfe 223 powder and a 53 grain bullet. Do you think that the tsx could also be pushed that fast or would the long length tsx build pressure really quickly in that small case.

I do have some h335 so that might work.

I haven't seen any quick load figures so I can't really tell you how close they are.
