Sierra says 7tw needed at 223 velocity, I'm sure at 22gt velocity a 7.5 would suffice. They're factory pointed 90s. Can't expect them to be anything but the 9290s. @padom has been using them in a 22br from a 7tw and they've shot very well for him, more consistent than 88 eldm.Are they in fact 9290's if anyone knows?
I have 7.2 twist, fast enough to spin these up properly?

What speed are you getting with the 90 SMKs? Any blowing apart on you?100yd lol I’m not cool enough to shoot at 200yds
I have a PVA 7 twist coming and I’m a little afraid it may be troublesome. I’m hoping I can send them fast enough without them blowing apart and I don’t want to run solids. I wish PVA had more Osprey twist rates available.
How fast were you sending the 88s? Had? Did you shoot out the barrel, if so how many rounds did you get out of it?I had zero issues with my pva obw 22GT 1-7 and blowing up bullets. Shot 88 ELD's lights out...
I have 88s and 85.5s. I may pick up some 90s as well. I was hoping to find 95s, but I think I have more bullets than barrel life at this point.You’re not going to have an issue. Another member here shoots the 90’s in a 6.5tw barrel at the same speed with no issues, my buddy has run 90gr atips with no issues in his 7tw as well.

I do not have the latest update, but I use the 6x47 lapua profile and just adjust everything to match the GT specs. Case length, H2O and AOL, then just adjust the burn rate to match velocity. Works for me just fine.Any one here have QL or know if 22GT is featured in it?
I built the 22GT in Gordon’s. Working out of town this week so can’t run your specific loads.I was gonna see if someone could run a load in it for me. 90gr SMK 36.3gr H4350. And compare it to 37gr N555 with the same bullet. Curious what the pressure is on those loads
26” barrel?I built the 22GT in Gordon’s. Working out of town this week so can’t run your specific loads.
I have run close though in coarse testing just to get some speed baselines.
24” PVA 7T
Loads below are all under 100 rounds on barrel with virgin Alpha brass GM205 primers & loaded 2.522 OAL or .023 jump.
H4350 36.1 with 90smk = 3052 case fill 89.7
N555 36.5 90smk = 3012 Case fill 96.6
N555 37.7 90smk = 3097 case fill 99.7
N555 37.4 with 88’s Gave me 3079 on this new 24”I can say those speeds are slow. But my barrel is sped up. With 36.3rd 4350 I’m getting 3260 with 90 smks and 37gr n555 I’m getting 3150. That’s why I’m curious to see what kind of pressure I’m dealing with as n555 at 37gr is giving me a click on primary extraction and cratered primers but no hard bolt lift and 36.3gr of h4350 is giving me pretty gnarly cratered primers and no click and no hard bolt lift.
Ambient air temp was 48degrees. This is all out of a 218 bore 26” bartlein barrel.
To add, 88’s with 38gr of n555 on a brand new barrel was getting me 3150. They run the same speed as the 90’s for me.
I ran up to 37.9gr H4350 in initial testing with 90 atips, had about 150 Rds on the 26" hawkhill, origin action. I never found ejector slot marks or primer cratering till 3240, and found bolt lift at 3270. My barrel is a 219 bore 7tw, I think that keeps the psi down VS a 218 bore. My accuracy load is 36.4 H4350 with 90s running 3120-3130I can say those speeds are slow. But my barrel is sped up. With 36.3rd 4350 I’m getting 3260 with 90 smks and 37gr n555 I’m getting 3150.

Mine is on a Tika PVA nutted barrel. The Tika doesn’t hide pressure like my ARC actions. Not sure what the bore is on the PVA’s? Based on my previous PVA’s I’d expect it will speed up 50-100fps. I just ran another 100 through it fire forming with 88’s & Staball. Ready to do some load testing now that I have 200 rounds through it. Brass is prepped, but working out of town every week is slowing progress.With it being a 24, that makes sense.
Barrel was cleaned and carbon ring scrubbed out if there was one. I’m also shooting suppressed so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. Fwiw, this AI has cratered primers on mild dasher loads. Just may be an AI thing lol
I know the new PVA Osprey 22 Cals are advertised 219 bore. However my Smith gauged the one I used for a 22cm, and 219 wouldn't go, but 218 was a bit sloppy, so they're likely somewhere in between, closer to 0.2187 or so.Mine is on a Tika PVA nutted barrel.

I clean with clr/iosso every 150 rounds or so, no carbon problems with that regemin.How have carbon rings been with the 22GT? I’ve really had to stay on top of them with certain powders in my 6GT and 6 Creedmoors.

I do have a bore scope and will keep up with it. Just trying to get a rough round count of when that might be? I know that it is powder dependent as well.Let’s put it this way, they definitely form faster with 22GT for sure. One of the first things I noticed with 22GT and even 22BR. A borescope is a great tool to identify the carbon ring. You gotta keep an eye out for it and stay on top of it vs many other calibers thats for sure....
I'd honestly give it a clr treatment between day 1 and day 2. Clr has given me the best results fastest for breakdown of carbon. Run 3 - 4 wet patches with scrubbing motion. The use one wet patch pressed into the throat area to soak it for 30 mins, then hit with nylon brush, then 3-4 wet patches of your normal cleaning solution like eliminator, followed by dry patches and shoot. Should be good for a 2nd day. Carbon rings are a bitch.I do have a bore scope and will keep up with it. Just trying to get a rough round count of when that might be?

Could a guy take it to a two day match and not have issues? That’s possibly 230 or so shots with zero and long distance verification.
Reading posts like this make me want to stick with a 6mm bore for PRS matches.I'd honestly give it a clr treatment between day 1 and day 2.

I know my 6mm prs rifles shoot more consistently rounds 1-150 than they do 150-300 after a cleaning. Resetting to clean barrel between day 1 and 2, then shooting 10 fouling rounds morning of day 2 has been my process for the handful of 2 day matches I've shot. Single day match the barrel usually has 20 rounds on it from zero/dope check. This works for me, but cleaning every 3-400 works for others. I just know my velocity creeps up about 10-20fps from 0-150 rounds, and at 300 is up about 40 from fouling when I tested it with my 6gt/109/h4350 load last year that was at 2920, after 300 rounds I was up around 2960 and groups had opened up at distance from half to near 1 moa. The 22 would would only be worse. I'm building a 22br for a practice rig to run 88s and 90smk at 2950-3000fps from a 28" barrel. Hopefully I can find a powder that keeps fouling low. Varget/4166/N150/rl15.5 are what I will test.Reading posts like this make me want to stick with a 6mm bore for PRS matches.
Does anyone run IMR 4955 Enduron powder in their 22 GT? It’s a little slower burning than H4831.
I have 9 pounds of it. Just wondering if anyone has used it for the heavies.I believe hodgdon recently discontinued the entire enduron line of powders, so unless you have a large stash of it you need to burn up that's kind of a dead end.

I heard an interview somewhere that the Enduron lines are discontinued for consumer sales. It should be back later if they get caught up with contracts. Sorta like how Lapua is only releasing certain brass calibers for the time being. Seems the whole world is gearing up for war.
I have a 26” barrel if that helps any.I'll try to remember to run some QL numbers tonight with 4955 and see what it shows; maybe it would be worth testing.

Interesting. The three bullets I have on hand are 85.5 Bergers, 88 ELDMs and 90 SMKs. I would like to run in the 3050-3150 range to get the most KE on targets at distance.
