I cant recal my exact load but i remember it being one grain over the minimum load in the hornady manual of 4198 and a 40 gr vmax. Works wonders in my tikka 222.

I would try the rx7, 4198,8208, benchmark in that order ive never loaded blc2 ive never had luck with 322
I bought IMR 4198 by the case for use in dog rifles, 40g and 50g. H335 with a 55g is nothing short of unreal, use Rem 7 1/2 primer. Walt Berger used H335 with is own 52's and sat a bunch of world records with it until the 6 PPC came along, REALLY FAST and accurate....look for the upper end pressure node.
I have a Remington model 722 in 222 and I shoot 24 gr (max load) of H322 with the 40g Nosler BT at approximately 3490 fps. That load in my rifle is extremely accurate.

I got way better accuracy with the 50g v-maxs than the 40s. Using imr 4198 and 4320. If you try the 50s and bigger dont over look the imr4320. It is not real fast but it is accurate. I should try the 40s again just to see if i can do better with them as they were sure faster.
