Ramshot Load Guide
Check this website, and click on the menu for Load Guide, under the sub menu, Load Data.
Oops, just re-read your post, you mentioned 222 Mag. Sorry, then I am not sure this will help.
Good Luck

222 Magnum loads typically use another 1.5 grains of powder with the same bullet to reach the same pressure limits (with more velocity - of course).
So if you are using 23 grains of "X" powder in the 223, the same pressures would be reached with 24.5 in the Magnum.
But... always work up loads from a safe starting point.
Never take a load from someone on the internet, and stick it in your cases.
Since the 222 Mag is larger than the 223, you can use the max loads for the 223 as starting loads for the 222 Mag.

Thanks for the info thats kind of what I was thinking but glad to hear a second opinion.
This is burn rate off Ramshot site
97. Hodgdon H335
98. Ramshot TAC
I use the same amount of Tac in my 223/223AI when I was shooting H-335 and I just haven't got around to trying TAC in my 222mag. I'd start with the same loading data for
H-335 and you can get that off the Hodgdon site. Well good luck
