The 22 GT Thread

[justin davis]

I just got action and barrel back from smith. 18” 22 GT on a tikka action. It’s gonna be a predator gun. Thinking shoot 60-70 grain bullets or even the 77 TMKs. I’ll provide some data once I start loading for it

Don’t sleep on the 80 eldm. It’s a killer and they’re cheap and easy to find.

80gr eldm/N150 shot lights out at 3200mv from my 21in barrel. 18in would prob land around 3100ish.

My 18” does them at 3080 with h4350

Ok thanks. I got a box of 80’s. I can give them a shot too

I have everything for my build except the stock but my RS Lite is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. It is almost time to put it together and roll some ammo. I plan to start with the 88 TMK but have 88 ELDM and 80.5 Berger to try if the TMK doesn't work out.

This is with one of your .22 GT barrels?

Yes, one of the 2 I got from the group buy.

I debated getting one of the group buy barrels but drug my feet and didn’t. Well my barrel is shot out and I just ordered another preferred prefit. Should have it in a few weeks.

How many rounds did you get out of it?

I did not keep as good a track as I untended but I am pretty sure it was in the 2500-3000 range. I am going to give it a good scrub and see if that does it any good.

Yeah, sounds like that barrel doesn't owe you a thing at this point. Thats a lot!
