The 22 creedmoor thread

What is the ideal free bore for the 80 and 88 eld’s? My gunsmith just informed me he only has the saami at .80” and my shooting partners tell me .120” minimum ideally .169”.

Never shot 88s but the 80s rolled great out of my Horizon. I have 2 PBB barreled 22CMs on tikka actions at .081 FB. Have yet to shoot, but will tomorrow if weather holds.

Idk if it helps you or not. But a factory Hornady precision match with 80gr eldm goes 1.9700 CBTO with an COAL of 2.5950 with my tools.

Just an FYI. Slightly pricey but they do 5 - 10% sales every now and then it seems. Disregard if already posted here

Ramshot Grand worked really well for the 88’s in my 22 Creed, better than H4350 as far as accuracy and speed.

What charge did you end up going with and what kind of velocities were you getting?

Ordered a .22 caliber 1 in 8 twist stainless Krieger barrel #4 sporter contour. A #4 measures .670 at the muzzle. First time using a Krieger for me. Not to concerned with weight as most of the time the rifle will be carried on a ATV or snowmobile. Plan is to have my smith finish it up at 24 inches. Donor rifle will be a left hand stainless Tikka T3x 6.5 CM. Kreiger quoted 4-5 month delivery time. Plan is to have my local smith do the chambering and barrel install work. Ordered a 3 piece set of Redding dies that include the micrometer seating die adjustment.
Contacted McMillan and ordered a lefty Game Warden stock which should be here about the same time as the barrel. Now just need to find a decent deal on a left hand Tikka 6.5 to use as a donor.
For glass I will pick something in 5x20 range. Never owned a scope higher than 16X before but hoping this rig turns out to be a good shooter.
