The 22UM

What about using something in 28 or one of the other calibers that have better brass now?

Potentially yes. Just have to order reamers and try.

I've got a pile of ADH 28 Nosler brass and a set of wild cater dyes someplace all packed up. (Just moved) Sometime I'll have to make a few cases in 22 cal.

A new bullet? Like a 90+ grain TMK? Thought Jake mentioned that Sierra was expanding their TMK line on the last podcast. Not just a new 6mm. But maybe a 6.5 too. A larger 22 cal TMK would be the tatas.

Not really. I will try a straight 22UM or 22UM-30° next, probably along with a 22-06 or AI version. The real issue is optimum bullets. The 88gr ELD-M is finicky enough that depending on it isn’t the way. A 90gr or 95gr SMK with nose ring may work. The is also a potentially new bullet going to be about this year. Right now, I would still choose the 77gr TMK.

The 95smk has been showing to be fairly soft in my 22 creed. It has a rather large nose cavity and thin jacket. I just dont have enough data at the extreme ends of things as its further than I usually shoot game. Have one goat shot at 810m but didnt go necropsy due to location.

Good to know.
