Another 22 Creedmoor question

[nmkid]

I got ahold of Zack(Old Dominion Custom Rifles) last night and ordered a Kauger SA for my 22CM. Will more than likely be a 1:8 twist Hawk Hill barrel. I have always liked long barrels so this one will be finished at 26"or 28". In another post, I liked the 75 GR ELD Match bullet as a possibility. Those of you folks shooting the 22 CM...What is your current, best, shooting bullet in your 22CM? Just got some Alpha OCD 22 CM brass. Never used this brass so kind of excited about it.

Petersons, h4831sc, 80.5 28 inch.

What is it going to be used for?

 

[nmkid]

Nothing in particular. Hopefully, prairie dogs and coyotes when I move back out West.

75ELD in Alpha brass.

 

[6MMWASP]

88 ELD-M, RL 17 in both 22-250 AI and 22 Creed

 

[Shurefire]

90 SMK, 38g N165. Exceptional target round.

Another vote for 88 ELDM (Hornady). Shot these @ 1,000 yards in Wolf Precision's Long Range Shooting School last year. We were on steel and 1 gallon water jugs so no group size to report. Hits were very consistent.

Will the 88s stabilize in a 8 twist?

Would depend on load specifics, barrel length/velocity, range to target, etc. Hornady recommends 7" twist:
