Hey guys,
What are the current day powders of choice for those of you who might still be shooting a FULL-LENGTH .22PPC? Standard short range benchrest equipment - 14-twist barrel, 52gr bullets...
Thanks,
kh
 
22ppc

Try 2230 at about 28 gr for new brass. If brass is fire formed 29-29.5 of h322 works great for P. D. shooting. These load shoot same velocity in my current P.D. barrel.
 
Kent,

I have been shooting a full length 22 PPC pretty often over the last 4 years. I have used 133, 135 and 8208XBR all with pretty good results. 27 to 28+ grains of the 133 and 135. The 8208XBR gave some unbelieveable velocities at 28 grains. Over a Oehler 35P chrono it clocked at 3810 fps.(in a 27" barrel) Showed no pressure sighns, but I backed it down to 3750 fps, thought it might be just a tad too warm. If you try these powders I suggest you back down from what I've listed here to see what works in your rifle first.

FWIW
