Any got some advice on what weights will work best with a 22 inch 8.66 twist barrell
With the ELD M either 120,140 or 147 -
Of course I can just get a box of each ...
Will be factory though - I don’t reload at the moment

120 to 130. 140 don't shoot that good in mine (8.5" twist 27" barrel).
I have a 6.5x47L that loves the Lapua Scenar 123gr it has a slightly smaller case capacity than the Creedmoor which is about the same as a 260 Rem they can handle the 139gr very well, that would be my choice based on how my brothers 260 Rem shoots the 139gr Lapua Scenar.
More a question around bullet-barrel match than case capacity. You could try these:
Twist Rate Stability Calculator | Berger Bullets
JBM - Calculations - Stability
The 140gr are still worth trying though. Degree of stability aside (within reason), your barrel may like them.
I'd buy a box of the 140 to try first.
in my 260 im running the 143 eldx with great results. using the advertised b.c. getting it out at 2750 with adi 2209. super accurate. ive got the same twist rate also.
Hornady precision hunter shoots very well in my rifle. Half inch 3 shots and just over an inch 10 shot rapid fire group.

My T3X CTR (8.5T x 24") like 130's both Sierra matchkings and ELD-M's with 41.3g A2209 (.3"MOA average). It also likes 140's. Haven't tried 143's or 120's.
