Default .1-222 load data

Hi there,
Just thought I would share my load data.
I have a Sako L461 early model, 5 digit s/n. Meopta 4-12x50 Scope, very good optic, older model made in Czech. Current are made in China...I think?
Shilen 1:10 twist barrel, I only use 25gn HP projectiles, Hornady and/or Berger...
For some reason!? The Berger always shoot tighter groups. This was also the case when I used to have a .17 AH.

.17/222 Data.....

N133. 18.7gns. 3800fps
R7. 17.5. 3800fps+-
AR2207. 16.9. ?
AR2206H. 20.3. ?

The N133 is no longer? Available in Australia and the R7 is difficult to get in the Southern States due to transport safety/political States issues, as the importer is in Queensland.
Great calibre to load for and shoot, 3/8” to 1/2” groups, I use RP and Winchester brass, but hope to get either Sako or Norma/Nosler brass soon.
Anyone got a preference for brass brand??

Regards, Jay
