22 creed bullet options

Killed a few hundred with the 75gr AMax now the ELD-m and a decent amount with the 80.5 Berger. Probably killed 30 whitetail with the Berger also.

75gr is the lightest I would go

95 SMK in a 16.5"

90-95gn SMK

I landed on 80gr eldm for a balance of speed and bc with my 20 inch I don’t have it yet but I’m basing my decision off my friends 22x47’s seems like it’s a good balance they love 88’s I really don’t think you can go wrong just decide if you want more speed or more bc. I’m a big berger fan that’s all I’ll shoot in a match, but I’m tired of the results on game it’s beyond frustrating unless you hit large bone imo.

77tmk, run em fast and hard. Its tougher than an eldm but still expands reliably down to 1800fps or so. I did kill 2 deer with 75eld out my 18" 22cm this fall. Worked well 250-480y. Bullet performance was great, I'm running them at a very mild speed of 3100.

I had a bad experience with Sierra once but I’m hearing a lot about that tmk

.224 Hornady VMax are rated for up to 4500 FPS without coming apart. Nostler BT 40 grain is a close second.

I’ve been shooting coyotes with the 85.5 Berger this year. So far I’m impressed with the results. It stones them and when it exits it’s been a quarter size hole.

I’m on a gas gun that is 22”. I’m running 52gr hammer hunters

What twist is your barrel?

@Travis224 uses 60gr VMAX iirc

I'm shooting 90gr bergers in mine. 1:7 barrel

If you have a 7 twist I'd start with 88 ELDM or something similar. An 8 twist might get you there but would be marginal I think.

A lot of good coyote hunters really like the 64 Gamechangers
75ELDMs are a proven coyote smasher as well.
75s give a good combination of speed & BC...... not sure what you plan on shot distance though.

I've shot everything from Bobcat to Pronghorn with the 75ELDMs.

I run 60 vmax, a buddy runs 60 TMKs, both are terrific to anything under 400yds. I don't hunt windy nights or shoot long distance outside of a mil to mil and half hold. Makes things aweful easy.

I've been quite pleased with 64 TGK's in my 18"
If you want to save fur vs just kill kil kill will determine what kind and size of bullet you wanna run.

How did they do for you? I have a 22 creed shooting them at 3200, considering taking it deer hunting
