Anyone care to share their load data for .22 CM and 88 ELD-M using Hodgdon and/or IMR powders?

Peterson brass, H4350, H4831SC, H1000, IMR 4451, IMR 4955 on hand.

I ran up to 42.5 gr of H4350 with no pressure signs. Shot well at both 42 and 42.5, didn’t chronograph. Using resized hornady 6 creed brass and the rifle has very long throat.

Shooting 43.5 gn 4831sc, 3.211 coal, 3250 ish fps I believe. Got a hit on 36" plate at a mile with 6x swfa for funzies.
I won't tell you how many times I tried tho. Kinda like the world record attempts 🤣. 10 inch circle is in constant danger at 1k. Tons of fun.
I'm out of 4831 and working up a h4350 or n565 load next tho. Should use up the n565.

N555 & N560 work great as well if you have any.

Not one of the brands that you listed but mine really likes 6.5 staball. I think 43 grains was pushing it 3250. Necked down lapua 6 creed brass. Mine has a tight chamber so I have to neck turn but everything worked great after that.

Is that coal a typo? Don't think the bullet would be in the case at that length.

I do have StaBall…didn’t consider that an option.

Please verify your data and let me know…

I’d probably start at 41 grains. My load is 43.5 and that as far as I’d push it. I’m using 6creed lapua srp brass and cci 450
Thanks for the reply. I'll do that. I've got Alpha brass and will be using Federal 210M's. Although with RL26 I might run Federal 215M's instead of the 210's. I'm gonna try RL26 and H4350 since those are the two I've got the most of, other than StaBall 6.5. I might experiment with that as well. We'll see.

Just received my first 22 Creed. Going to start my Satterly load test with 4831sc reluctantly. I will load in .2 grain increments starting at 36.6 and going to 40.2 unless I hit pressure. I will post the results for everyone. I say reluctantly because H1000 is my magic dust. But others have had good results with 4831 so here we go.

What barrel twist are you using? I was planning on running the 88 eldm and then last night I watched Ultimate Reloader talk about how his 1-8 twist was not spinning the 88 enough to give tight groups.
