Hornady .224 ELDM 88 grain/22-250 Rem.

Hello: Just swapped to a fast twist barrel on my 22-250 Remmy Tikka. About to embark on load development with a heavy bullet. I'm looking at the Hornady ELDM 88 grain. Will use for open country Coyote and maybe Pronghorn. Anyone have a powder they use that is their favorite for this combination. Velocities? Thanks in advance.

I used H4350 and h4831sc in my AI.

H4831SC is one of the best in my 22 Creedmoor. It may work well for the 250 also. Before 22 Creedmoor brass became available, I used 22-250 brass loaded up to max with a jammed bullet and fire formed them. They shot extremely accurately during the forming process.

RL-23 and 88s shot very well for me out of my 22-250 AI. I'd imagine it should work well in the standard case also.

Thanks for the reply. I just can't seem to locate any Rel. 23.

Hello , With my 22-250 my OAL IS 2.533 . With the 88s I would be seating this bullet well into the case . I had planned on using h4831sc . This will be compressing a bit . My concern is how far the bullet is into the case ? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks .

As long as the compression doesn't affect your seating depth it should be fine. If you fine that the bullet is being pushed out offer seating should should have the throat pushed out a bit to comfortably seat that bullet.
