Well, I've got a TT, a MK5, a March HighMaster, a Razor 2, a Razor 3 and to be honest....it's garbage by comparison.
Alpha brass with cci450s. Large flash hole helps with consistent ignition in colder seasons.

Berger Bullets - 22 cal, 80.5gr, FULLBORE Target 22427 / 22727 - Bullet Central
Berger 80.5 Grain Fullbore Target Bullets are often used by competitve shooters who seek the highest accuracy possible. FullBore Bullets are often used beyond mid-range distances out to 600 yards or more. The 80.5 Grain FullBore Bullet was specifically designed for accross-the-course competitive...
For coyotes I would go with 75 eldms over the 88s. I like the speed that the 75s give ya over the 88s. What bore is your barrel .219 or .218?
You may run into jacket deformation problems pushing bullets hard out of a .218 bore and possibly slower speeds then a .219.
H1000 is way too slow for that combo. You're not getting them spinning fast enough. The 95 SMKs like 2900 - 3100 fps. Below that doesn't stabilize worth a shit, and over that can cause jacket failures.
46+ gr of H1000 would be my suggestion. See if it gives you a speed you're happy with. H1000 was able to push 77s in my 22" barrel up to 3280fps. It will only get more efficient as bullet weight goes up.
That's way over what hodgdon recommends for an 85, and I asked about an 88 grain bullet . . .
Just finished a build and break-in. I'm using 43 grains of N565 and 90 grain SMK's getting 3150 fps. I've worked up to 44.5 grains without pressure. Not sure what it will do for barrel life but I'm sure I'll find out. I have a second barrel on order.
Pretty sure as long as guys keep hoarding and buying everything in sight to keep available inventory non-existent, prices will remain high, or go higher.
Id stay away from cci400, and go for cci450. Ive ran N555 in my 22 creed with 77tmk, running 3500fps with 43.9gr, shoots pretty good, but on edge of pressure. Primers are flat, no ejector or bolt lift. 42.5gr run 3400fps and shoots excellent there.
I did not experience any pressure signs. Case was filled to the bottom of the neck. I tapped them down before seating. My case capacity averaged out to 51.21 grs. H2O. GRT tells me the fill ratio is 99.6%. This was a 6 step ladder with 3 round steps. I have not revisited the combination yet but plan on pursuing the 44.6 and 45.2 loads. CBTO - 2.121, COL - 2.597
I believe it comes with the large diameter so you do. Measure it, for small rifle you will want the .062 diameter pin and not one thats .07x or .08x something.
Honest question here, not trying to entrap you-
You're reading a lot into my statement. Nowhere did I advocate running over-pressure loads.
I shot the Berger 77gr OTM’s with 42.2 of H4350, average of 3390fps from a 22” 7 twist. It was on the edge, some swipe and minimal cratering but bolt lift wasn’t noticeable. So you like Retumbo over H4350 With this bullet? Its hard to turn away from a load that shoots excellent to chase improvement with a different powder, for me. CCI450 and Alpha ocd brass, for anyone wondering.
If you’re not having carbon problems I would stay where you are. I would be staying if it wouldn’t carbon buildup and cause pressure. I am hoping slowing the burn rate down I can prevent most of the carbon at the start of the bore.
What barrel maker? Do you know the bore size? I'm wanting a 7 twist for my 16 or 18" build but can only find 218 bore vs desired 219. Lots of people have had jacket failures once the barrel gets a lil fire cracking. I just don't want to be one of they guys with a problem.
Bartlein barrel, Joe Walls/Exodus Rifles chambered it I may have the freebore # somewhere but I don’t know it as I sit here on the recliner. I haven’t seen any of the otm’s explode (yet), but I have read about the vld’s having that at high rpm. I am trying 73gr Hammer Hunters with StaBall soon though, partially out of concern for bullet integrity and partially because I want a ‘hunting’ bullet.
I shot a few antelope with my 22" 7.7tw 22 creed last year using the 70gr absolute hammer. Stiff load of rl26 pushing them at 3700fps. Load shot sub 2" groups at 400y consistently. The hammer had a decent wound channel, and killed well. The bc is dogshit but at lighting speed, drops are pretty good out to 500y. I'm building another currently with a magnesium element 4.0 folding chassis and a short barrel for strictly supressed. Trying to find a 219 bore 7tw barrel currently.
Patriot valleys 22 cals are 7 twist 219
Yeah I just ordered one. Josh said the blank will ship Wednesday, countered to 3B and cut at 19"
I tried it with 77tmk, full case with a drop tube, believe around 46.5-47gr was only getting 3320 from a 22" barrel. It'd work better with heavier bullets I feel. H4350 pressured out arpund the same velocity, rl16 was near 3400. N555 shoots very well at 3400 and 3500. 3500 is too warm to run on hot days, but anything below 75 its good to go. Rl26 will flat out scream near 3600, rl23 does well around 3400 as well.
