Suggestions for .224 high BC Medium Game Bullet

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?

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.
