.222 40 Grain Reloads

[dogvixen01 34]

is there anyone on here who reloads .222 at 40 grain. if so I would be interested in your opinion regarding how it compares to a 50 grain head for accuracy ,recoil and impact effect. if it is a lot better I would like to know the powder you use and the load .I have used 50 grain soft point previously and currently trying 55 grain. have thought about trying 40 g blitzking lately thanks.

I'm using 40g nosler varmageddon,have been for the last six months,devastating on foxes out of a .222,shot 256 foxes in 2014,very few runners with these,they seem to dump all their energy with very few bullets exiting

i allways used 50 hornady sx with 21gns of reloader 7 behind them ..carnt remember a charlie walking away

Sako gamehead 50gr or 55gr.

 

I use them on Roe and they hit hard as hell. I imagine they would do just fine fro you on Charlie

 

I doubt you would feel much reduction in felt recoil, with my moderator on I don`t feel any recoil as it is.

Use a 40gr nozler in my 223 ackley at 3960fps now that's a mess

 

Very flat shooting great for night work

 

Mate uses 40gr vmax in his 222 with good results
