I shoot a tikka t3, 40gr blitzking with IMR 4198. Foxes and rabbits are unimpressed.
Re: 222 Dies
That sounds more like it. But to be honest like I said in my previous post I have no experience with .222 I am just testing the water at the moment.Lee RGB die set, £22 inc. postage from Kranks, perfectly decent set of dies
I do not like .22 rifles no that's not correct I don't like the .22 cartridge. It spits cases all over on a 25 - 50 yards/meters out door range you spend half your time on hands a knees picking up spent cases. No thank you. I am thinking cast boolits in a .222 for 25 or 50 meter range. 25 or 50 meter ranges are more often than not the most available ranges to me with the occasional 100 to 300 meter. So why should I be buying building exotic stuff to shoot at distances that are never going to be available to me. Another reason why I have been selling stuff whats the point of having a rifle that wil shoot the middle out of a target at 300yards/meters if you don't have any access to a target at 300yards/meters.

You are making no sense. Why not just get a brass catcher if that is your problem?!

Re: 222 Dies
95% of our rifle shooting is done at 25m, outdoor 100m+ target shooting is once or occasionally twice a month if my club gets the range dates. My son loves shooting his 308 at 25m, probably more than he loves shooting the 22lr, 44mag or 300 Blackout. The 22lr is certainly the cheapest and easiest option as no reloading is required but there's something about shooting a full size 308 that just feels "better" than a little 22 smile2
I'm also looking for 25m loads for a 223, just got a bargain on a gorgeous CZ527 Exclusive - Ebony Edition, not sure if I'll be keeping it though as I find .22 a pain to reload and would prefer another nice 300 Blackout

There's room for all Gods creatures, next to the mash and gravy :)
