The 22 creedmoor thread

It should be fine. Sammi fb is .120 and I’ve ran 90smks with an .080 fb without issue. The BS is just seated slightly below the neck/shoulder junction.

SAAMI FB is .080” in the 22CM. FWIW IMO optimal FB for the 80’s is .120 and for the 88’s is .170. Can or will non optimal still work? Yes. 88’s in the .120 will have the base of the shank right at the neck shoulder junction.

I found out that it was both the Hornady 80-88's. Sierra TMKs in both weights were the easy button. 85.5 Bergers too.

I'm always curious why you don't hear more about the 85.5's. Seems like they don't get much love

Kid shot her first deer with one last head. Just over 100 yards broadside. She hit forward if the shoulder in the base of the neck. It was a giant wound. Deer was dead instantly.
I was worried about the small chance the Berger might not have a good expansion. Went to the TMK.
