88 ELD-M’s 8” .223ai

I finally whipped up a delrin spacer and she cycles 2.5” 88eldm dummy rounds flawlessly. Time to start fire forming and see if the 88’s work.

ra3043 did your 8” tikka stabilize 88’s?

0.63 inch 3 shot group with nice round holes -- Havent stretched it farther than 100 yet. Shot that group this morning. At first glance it looks like itll stabilize them. Its common for 8 twist 22-250 tikkas to stabilize them with no problems. If you have a true 8 twist or faster and can get some velocity I think there is a good chance of stabilizing them out to distance in a 223ai. For anyone curious about longer mags that are cheap in the tikka world for 223 - ascension industries sells a nice 3d printed magazine for $40 currently. This will allow you to have a COAL of 2.55"
