I’ve basically settled on the 95gr SMK great bullet in the 22 creedmoor. What twist rate did you go with?

I’m using Hornady 6CM brass and re26. Settled on a mild load at 3085Fps. 1/7 twist schnieder barrel.

That is a wicked little cartridge. I’ve got an 8 twist 22-250, but if I were to rebarrel it today, it’d become a 22 CM. Can’t see any negatives to it. I see Berger has some 85.5 grain Bullets as well that might be pretty good too.

I built one this last winter...hands down one of my favorite rifles. Went 3 for 3 on the 1,200 yard gong last weekend with the 95 SMK doing about 3135 with RL26 out of a 24" 1:7. I tried the 88 ELDM, but the 95 SMK shot better in my rifle at the same speed as my decent load with the 88 ELDM. I know they are target bullets, but so far it has 3 good mule deer bucks to its credit in 3 shots.

My friends daughter ran it all the way out to 1,000 yards and back and never missed a gong. She was pretty tickled.

Nice looking rifle. What is your load with the 95gr SMK

Thanks, it looks a lot like yours! great minds must think alike!

42gr RL26 in Alpha LRP 22CM brass. I have a long throat in mine, but it shot best with quite a bit of jump. Below is an 800 yard target while I was getting my ballistic program dialed in.

Nice, I have been having a hard time finding re26 and have been looking for alternative propellants.

Re26 has been great to work with.

I was using H4831 with the 88 ELDM. Worked pretty well. I have enough rifles that use RL26 now I buy the 8 pound jugs. It's kinda like unicorn dust around here as well so I stock up when I can.
