Tikka 22-250 1:8 88eldm Stability?

[TimberHunter]

I know there’s guys with a lot of success getting the 88 to stabilize in a 22cm in tikka 1:8 barrels

What about the slower velocities of the 22-250? Berger and Hornaday apps say it’s a no go.

Elevation at about 3k for practice, 7-10k for hunting. I was getting 3050-3100 fps with the 75ELDM with a 20” barrel but would like to shoot a higher BC larger bullet

I got them to shoot slightly sub MOA in a Tikka 8 twist 22-250. I'd have to look for my notes but thinking I was using H4350. The 75 amax I had on hand shot very well so ended up with those. But if you want to shoot the 88, I think you would have a good chance at success.

75’s shoot well in my tikka as well. Just would like to shoot a larger bullet when hunting Mule deer

They stabilize fine in my 22/250 and 223 at sea level so you will have no issue but you will have to find a load that works to get top accuracy, seating depth plays a part with these
