88 TMK Loading Thread

[Schmo]

I was looking at 22GT today too. I have some 22 creed barrels to shoot up and I'll probably move that way.

22 Creed just a tad too overbore for me. I’d rather a fast twist 22-250 or 22 GT I think

22 Creed just a tad too overbore for me.

Totally...I went that way (and 6mm Creed) because I had a ton of 6.5 creed brass to resize.

I had a 22-250 first and with big bullets and fast twist it's basically the same thing as the 22 Creed.

This thread is enough motivation to spin on my 22-250 barrel, order some brass tonight

Encouraging seeing everyone’s results

What action? I believe @The Guide has an extra T3x prefit on order.

That 260 is an origin but I also have a tikka that could be used haha.

I had to buy two of the 22 GT Tikka barrels to make the group by work. If these 88's shoot as good for me as it looks like they are shooting for others, I may just get rid of some other 22 cal guns and just do 22 GT and 223 but before I do that I'm going to try and compare the 88 TMK in the 22 ARC (22" and 16"), 22 GT (20"), and 22CM (22" and 20") to see how they compare.
