    Greetings, I think that data is for the .222 Rem Mag and not the .222 Rem. ADI shows a max load of 19.5 grains of AR2207 for 3,017 fps at 45,300 CUP for the .222 Rem. Regards Grandpamac.

    Greetings, Yes it is. IMR4064 was originally made by Dupont in the US from about the 1920's and was the go to powder for the .270 for a while until IMR4350 came out. AR2208 has been made by Mulwex,...

    Greetings blip, Good point about a new barrel. Those Mohawks are getting a bit long in the tooth for a barrel burner like the .243. On the powders you first mentioned all should be fine with IMR4064...

    Another thought, If your scope is a second focal plane unit then your calculated drops will only be accurate for one power so if you are a power ring twirler you have another problem. If you can...

    Greetings Rated M for Magnum. You may find it easier to work up to a velocity rather than just adding powder and looking for pressure signs. The 6.5x55 has around 5% more powder capacity than the...
