Which bullet for the 22 Creedmoor

69/77 tmk, 73/75 eldm, 80.5 fullbore berger all run very well and kill extremely well. My group of calling buddies all run either 69tmk ahead of varget or 80.5 fullbores ahead of H4350. The poly tipped bullets tend to be a little more explosive, but the 80.5, come unwound plenty well. Devastating on whitetails too.

The 60 grain flavors will be going North of 3600fps. We are running 3510 with 20" bbls and the 69tmk and the internal results are quite impressive on both coyotes and whitetail.
 
39.0gns of Varget has been the magic number in at least 4 or 5 22cm's that I know of with the 69tmk. If your firing pin is not either a small pin or bushed, you may have to stay at 38.1gn to avoid piercing primers.
 
Unsure of twist rate on his barrel, but I have a good friend that runs the 80 grain hornady eldx's. He has shot coyotes out to 800 yds and as close as 25 yds.
 
Last year i shot 75 eldm with re26 with great results. Switched to 80 sierra hpbt with re26 this year and good results as well. Mine is a 1 in 8 benchmark at 22" on a tika action
 
I use the 80 gr. Nosler CC for my 22 Creedmoor at 3511 fps. That's with a 28" 1:8 barrel. Honestly, I have used the Nosler CC bullets in other weights and have never been happy with them. However, the 22 CM just loves them.
