Anyone using N133 under a 50g boat tail Hornady. In a 222

No, velocity was a tad low when I tried so I settled on n130

 

[Sniper308]

For that bullet and calibre is also say n130

I've used n135 but you have to fill the case and compress it.
Some a worried about compressing charges. I'm not.

Yes
Tried and tested
Not BT but SP
mustard on roe
Not too messy

23gr of N133 from memory

went with 60gr in the end as I preferred the terminal effect

Was using 23 grains of varget in the 222 using 53 g hollow point great on the roe in the Scot’s borders
Does well on the lil cwd down in Norfolk
But will be going n120 now it will do 222 & 17 hornet & easy to get
