I have RL-7 & IMR-4198.
Or a pic of the page in their manual would work as well.
Possible access to others if needed.

Possible access to others if needed. Neither one of those are a wrong choice... of the two I'd pick the RL 7, but I am never short IMR 4198, and use that a lot for a lot of different cartridges...

Looking for data for a 222 Remington. 40 grain HP/Blitzking and 50 grain Blitz Varminter. I stick 19.5 gr of 4198 behind those bullets and never look back.

You shouldn't just look at the Sierra manual only, I have been shooting the 222 as long as I can remember. For me and my rifles I have found N130 to be the magic pixie dust for 40gr-50gr bullets, the VihtaVuori manual shows what the Sierra manual shows as maximum as minimum in their manual......... I use 22.5gr of N130 with 40gr Blitzkings, don't just look at one resource

As far as VihtaVuori that is as hard for me to get my hands on and hard to give $60 a pound for something that may not be much better than what I have or what is easy for me to obtain locally.

Surprising what a google search will turn up, almost everything has been posted at one time or another. I don't have a Sierra manual and I don't have a .222 but I have been able to find Sierra data online for my .223, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .270 by simply asking Google for it.

That might have been the case some years ago, but while most powders have skyrocketed in price VihtaVuori has not gone with Hodgdon and the others price gouging......just bought an 8# N130 for $260=32.50lb.......not$60

Must be something that is somewhat recent with Sierra. Wasn't long ago the only bullet manufacturer showing online data was Nosler.

And it is limited. More than likely Sierra doesn’t even know.
