Out and about a little

[raghornjp]

Finally got out and shot a couple rifles Shaen rechambered for me
I’ve got a good bit of RL 22 and looks like it’ll work fine with 75’s.
Tried 88’s but no joy!.........keyholed at 100

What did you do for barrel/twist? 223AI?

 

[raghornjp]

One has a 8T Pacnor and the other has a 8T Xcaliber
Both are 22 creedmoors
Tried 88’s with some RL 22 and got 3-4” groups at 100 with some of the holes keyholed ( both rifles)
Stick said measure the twist with a cleaning rod which I did
Seems both are closer to 1 in 8.25 or so
Dropped back to 75’s and all is right in the world again
Still using ‘22 and getting 3442 or so and seems to shoot good
Shot at 310, 530, and 650 and seems deer and wolves might want to back up farther than that

88 holes

 

[dznnf7]

Ahh, makes sense. I'd definitely trend toward a 1:7 for 88's. Next year or so Hornady may hit .224 95's at the current pace!

I've only got (3) 224 Speedmires,2 of which are 8" and all love 88's.

The 75 at 3400fps+,certainly don't suck....................

 

[raghornjp]

Yea, guess I’ll have to “make do” with 75’s
It gonna be rough

I like the brass organizer. Lot to like, bummer you have to build a new one for 88's.

Brass organizer works way better than expected
It will hold your brass for thousands of miles and nothing moves unless you turn it upside down.
Good thing is you won’t care about spilt brass if you do

When I sent my crummy to town to get fixed,the guy was AMAZED at my internal brass holder,when he replaced the windshield.

Pretty funny.........................
