IMR 4198 and H4198 is all I have run out my 222 as well. My accuracy node w/ 50 grain SP’s is about 19.5 with IMR, where as my rifle likes 20.5 of the Hodgdon. Therefore I get a little more speed out of the H4198 load, not that it matters. I sought a 222 over a 22-250, etc. for its mild report and reputation for non-fuzziness. The mild report matters when seeking permission to hunt chicks with the hope of being allowed back.

All that said, I believe I will try something different when my current stock of 4198’s is run out. It just takes some time as a pound goes a long way when throwing 19.5 grains at a time😁
