I would take a real hard look at WW748 for the 222.Used it for a lot of years, and couldn't find anything better.
 
I haven't had the time to really pursue it, but I've done some preliminary trials with LT-32 in the .222 Rem with 50-grain V-Max, and it looks as though it wants to shoot better than anything I've ever tried including H4198 and H322. I'd like to get back on it and try out some 40-grain I have and some 50-grain BTs also.

The best five-shot group I ever got out of my 788 was with 21.2 grains of LT-32 pushing the 50-grain V-Max. One shot was just a little out and the group ended up at 0.29" center-to-center. Velocity was a shade over 3050 fps.
