The 22xc Thread

[WyleWD]

Aa2700 is Win 760. This is one of the best powders in 22-250 with 50 to 55s. Just need a hot primer.

Back in the 1990s that's all we used in 22_250. 40.5 grains and a Fed 215. That was 3950 fps in a 26 inch barrel.

Yes sir, works great with a few Swifts I know of too with 50-55's in 12-14tw barrels. JME. WD

It begins!!! Getting a load together for the 22xc with the 62 eldvt.

Touch point is the same with 62 eldvt and 88 ELDM.

Very interesting Brad !

Looking for some load data using 75, 77, 88 and 90gr smk. I have h4831sc, h4350, h1000, ramshot magnum. View attachment 1400252

Will those bullets work in an 8 twist 22xc ?

8 twist can shoot up to 90gr fine. Why ?

Trying to figure it all out before I jump on. Making sure a 7.5 or even a 7 would be needed. Wrong twist decisions is not fun. Same with freebore

3150 is the basic speed with the 90 in the 22xc. The rpm is 283,000 at 3150.

That's ideal RPM.

It will go faster. But that's what I shoot.

What freebore would you recommend ? I think I seen a .090 and .170 you offered. If mainly trying to shoot 69 smk, 77 smk, 75 eldm , 80.5 berger , 90 smk, possibly the 80 eldm ? Or the tmk versions Have not considered the 95 smk or 88 eldm

That would be the 170 freebore.

 

[DLT]

That would be the 170 freebore.

Those could touch the lands and be plenty in the neck correct ?

If you stay below 80 grain bullets then you would use the shorter freebore. Once you threw in the 90 SMK I suggested the longer one.

So the 90g smk and I’m assuming the 88 eldm would both be recommended for the longer freebore Most everything else the .090 will be good

That is correct.

I have shot the long bullets in the shorter freebore but the brass had not been reloaded several times. I would be afraid of the donut with the 90s and 88s.

 

[urbanrifleman]

That would be the 170 freebore.

I just ordered a 22xc reamer with a 50 fb.

Would Hybrid 100 work with 80 SMKs in this cartridge?

I don't have a 22xc...but I've shot several jugs worth of H100v in my 6XC's. It's not been as fast as H4350, but it is very consistent with mid-single digit SD's. I would expect H100v to work with the heavier bullets in 22XC.

I'm thinking I might take a 22xc to shoot pdogs in June the weekend of the 20th. Could load up the 75 ELDM or 62 eldvt. But we are already shooting the 62 at the speed limit. Maybe the 88 ELDM with a nose ring cut.

What is the limit of the 62s ? I’m about to start playing with em

I honestly don't know when they blow up out of the barrel. But they like to shoot tiny at 3450 with an 8 twist.
