i have four .222 currently. never fired a factory round . 3 sako and a rem 700. ( i believe are all 14 twist) l load 50 ballistic tips, 205 gm , lapua brass, imr 4198. i have shot others berger, speer, sierra , hornady. they all shot good. the .222 is the least finicky of all cartridges inlcuding the .308. my dad killed over 50 coyotes with bhis sako mannlicher with 55 sx. i still prefer the 50 ballistic tip , even out of that rifle. i have tried 40 grain both vmax and ballistic tip. i have not shot the 53 hornady vmax. i would for sure try it in your rifle
