88's in 22 ARC 16" barrel

[FredH]

Well my initial hope was to match 223 velocities from 20 inch AR's with a 16 " 22 ARC. I chose a Faxon 16" with rifle length gas which is accurate and reliable. The problem being my chrony is a Magnetospeed sporter and between the gas block and the brake, and the brake removed it just isn't satisfactory for checking velocities. My purpose with the 88 ELDM is the same as just about any truck rifle. Targets of opportunity and feral hogs. The latter usually running and all shot angles taken. Hoped for around 2600 fps . Anyone have any 88 gr. 22 ARC loads that give 2550-2600 fps out of a 16" barrel?

Hmmmm

Following. I would like a ULUL 16” 22 ARC to run 2750 or so. I forget the thread name but several members were being good speed from KAK barrels recently

Yes should be plenty doable. Not sure if you’re reloading or not but I took my 20” over 2800 fps with 90 gr ATips and 85.5 Bergers.

Was that from an AR, or a bolt rifle?
