Cheers Kev , If you have data for the .22 Remington jet that would be good , the bullet is Hornady 40 gr JSP part No. 2210 . I would be using small rifle primers CCI .
These are the loads I have come across ,
Powder H110 10grs
IMR 4227 13 grs
IMR 4198
2400 13 grs

other bullets recommended 52 gn A-Max 53 gn Sierra


I have looked around on the net for the above info . Dave

Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 1.448 inch or 36.78 mm
Barrel Length : 22.0 inch or 558.8 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.

Matching Maximum Pressure: 36000 psi, or 248 MPa

or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

Please note that these loads are very near maximum - start about 10% lower!

Do you know that the actual bullet diameter required for this calibre is .222" or .223" as opposed to the modern ".22" diameter of .224"?
As such, I wouldn't like to give results for the 52 gn A-Max or 53 gn Sierra - the start pressure and engraving forces would be much higher and QuickLoad would need experimental data to be close.

Thanks Kev , my intention is to use the Hornady 40 gr bullets , .222 is the calibre I will be usiing , I checked a couple of FMJ .223's [ mil spec 62 gn and Sierrsa match king ] at the weekend and they both measured .224 . Theres plenty of choice in the data , I use Vit N 135 and N 140 at present for .223 and .308 so I may use Vit as I know my dealer stocks this brand . Thanks again Dave .
