    22 creedmoor 88gr eldm

    Hey fellas,
    I知 about to become the proud owner of a 22 creedmoor. Looks like a fun wee cartridge.

    I知 after any load data someone might have using the 88gr eldm? I can only find data for 85 and 90 grain pills so if all else fails I値l just start at the minimum for the 90gr a-tips.

    I致e got most of the adi powders on hand but not much else so would be good to stick with them.

    Cheers

    You got the twist rate for it? It really wants a 1:7.

    Hey @Missalot how are you getting on with your 22 creed? I pick mine up tomorrow, with dies and cases likely arriving early next week.

    @Hunter_Nick Haven’t had a chance to use it on bigger critters yet but load development was a piece of cake, and the local hares and plovers don’t like it! Flick me a PM if you want info on load data etc
