I haven't found a "bad" powder yet. Might add Reloder 7 and H4895 to the list.

Many years ago I tried several powders, but Vihtavuori N133 was the most accurate and most consistent.

[jackie schmidt]

Back in the '90's a lot of shooters used H322 as well as 133.

I have a original Remington 721 in 222, it likes either.

[coyotechet]

Jackie you might mean 722

[jackie schmidt]

Jackie you might mean 722

Yes,short action.
I bought it out of a pawn shop back in the early '80's

[MilGunsmith]

I have a 722 also in .222. It only likes BL(C)-2 and 50gr bullets. It has the rear sight base bulge on the barrel.

My 222 puts 5 Bart’s 52g bullets in the 0’s and 1’s with N133

[chris]

at what rang and how often

[UncleB]

I have 2....222's, different actions, different barrel's, different scopes etc.
I did load development in 2 different years. In both my rifles N130 was the hands down winner, If I go pre loaded to the range my heavy 222 will out shoot my ppc at 100yds every time.

[1911Nut]

at what rang and how often

5 shot groups at 100yds, most of the times till I pull one into the 2’s

It’s a Shilen barrel on a Savage target action with a 6oz trigger.

[1911Nut]

I’m shooting Lapua brass with Federal 205M primers, the barrel has a .250” neck so I am turning necks to get 0.001” per side.

I’m seating to get ~ 0.008-0.010” from touching the lands.

Your's is an early model. Barrels were 26" and there were two different weights. After that they brought out what they called a transition model with out the barrel boss and barrels were 24".
