Suggestions for .224 high BC Medium Game Bullet

[Beluebow]

I've also been shooting the Berger 80.5's out of a 22CM with great results. I have a bunch of 77gr TMK's and 88gr ELDM's to try this year as well.

I've used the 77tmk and 75 eldm out of my 9 twist 22cm on whitetail and hogs, out of 5 whitetail and several hogs, the only one we had to track was a hog my son shot behind the shoulder and only got lungs with 75 eldm and it went about 100 yards.

The 77TMK is a stone cold killer.

Otherwise Berger 85.5 or 80-88 ELDM.

I want so bad for the 90 grain ATips to be a reliable killer. I've shot them out to 1100 yards in my 7 twist 22-250AI.

This is the correct answer.

I've heard mixed reports on getting full stability with an 8 twist for the 88 ELDM.

I've got a 22-250 with a fast twist barrel (1-8") and would like to use it for Pronghorn/Whitetail. Any suggestions from those in the know would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If your barrel will stabilize it, then the 88gr ELD-M or the Berger 85.5gr Hybrid. If not, then the 80gr ELD-X or M, the 75gr ELD-M, or the 77gr TMK.

I put together a 22 Creedmore this year with a 26" 7twt a really fun and accurate shooting gun. Started out with the 75gr.
Eld-m then moved on to the 85.5 Hybrid.
Both shot were well out to 300yds, I haven't had a chance to shoot any further.
And only have shot 2 groundhogs with them, 1 with each.
If I was going to shoot a deer sized animal I will use the 85.5 Hybrid.

Thanks for all the great info. Anyone try the Nosler 70 grain AB?

They make a 70gr AB? That would be excellent!!! Might have to try some....

Swift makes 62 & 75 grain sciroccos I'm sure would be knarly on game. I have the 75's but haven't kilt anything with them yet.

I killed a hand full of deer and antelope 3-4 years ago running 75eldm at 3150 from a short pipe 22cm. I'd say the 75 and 80 eldm should do well. 77tmk are excellent killers but brick BC. I've also witnessed the 88eldm cause heavy damage as well as 85.5 berger but you don't have the rpm to stabilize those, well maybe if you have a lot of elevation on your side.
