I have a thread started on 22xc. That was super easy for me to reform 6xc to 22xc. Loads are easy.
I also bought reamers for 22-250, 22-250a, and 22 CM.
I think they are all going to be good.
Of course you can get 22-250 native brass. My guess is that there will be 22 CM native brass eventually.

Alpha makes 22creed brass

There you go...
Why would the OP want a 8 twist with 55gr bullets?
I have two Savages with 12 twist barrels. One a 26” factory heavy barrel and the other has a 24” Shilen varmint contour. Both shoot 55gr Sierra Gamekings in tiny groups.

That's a 20 cal.
I see that now, sorry.
Is the 20x47 not up to task?
Works extremely well but only 1 good bullet the 55gr berger. And very hard to come by.

I'm reading and watching with interest. I've been given a 22 caliber barrel blank which I'm going to use for a winter project. I'm looking at all the cartridges mentioned in this thread. I have also been searching, trying to find dimensions/drawings for the various chambers but not really finding much. I specifically want to look at the throats on these chamberings...free bore, etc. I think the 22XC, the 22 Creedmoor and the 22-6.5X47 are are tailored for the heavier bullets. My barrel blank is a 1:9 so I think the heaviest I can expect it to shoot is maybe 75 grains. Therefore I am leaning heavily towards 22-250 or 22-250 AI.
22-250
22gt, I've seen people having great luck with it and alpha makes brass for it.
For coyotes a standard 22-250 52gr HP or your 20x47L with 40's should fill the bill. Hard for me to understand building some weird LR rifle to kill a coyote with most of them being under 100 yards. My gotos are 222 Rem 52gr, and 20P 40gr, I won a AR in this caliber and liked the round so built a BA also..
