very interesting, what are you getting for velocity out of that 24" pipe

• Factory 62gr V-Match, rated @ 3300 fps - I'm getting 3260 in -18c temps, the other day it was +5c and 3290 fps
• Factory 75gr BLACK, rated @ 3075 fps - getting 3010 fps
• Factory 88gr Match, rated @ 2820 fps - getting 2750 fps

I've only handloaded 88gr ELDm so far. Getting 2750 fps with StaBALL 6.5, 2780 fps RL16, 2720 fps Viht N550, 2870 fps RL26 - more development to come with those ones, and also trying RL15.5ts too

I did try some 50gr Vmax over StaBALL Match just to see how the short/light bullet would handle the 1:7 twist barrel. 350,000 RPM didn't seem to bother it, 0.6moa ten shot @ 100m LOL - - probably not a load I will revisit, but cool to see it shoots great

Beautiful. Looking to do something similar in 22GT.

when the barrel on my 22 Creedmoor dies, it'll likely become a 22 GT!

Very cool. How do you like the pristine action?

No complaints, it's been really good. Smooth fuction, feeds and ejects well.

Yesterday tried some 88ELDm over RL15.5ts, group was fantastic! 2820 fps with 27.0grs powder

Nice! and good shootin. Love shooting the faster little 22cals

 

[todbartell]

RL16 pushes the 88gr ELDm to 2890 fps and shoots unreal!

Trying 80 grain Eld-VT next in mine

 

[Silverado]

Does this replace the Fireball for cappin' flat tops?

 

[hoytcanon]

Cute Lil thing.... reminds me of my .22 BR.

 

[HOSSONE]

Nice looking rifle and cool round! Looks like it’s performing well.

6mm ARC? the 22 cal VT is a 62gr

 

[ruby76]

6mm ARC? the 22 cal VT is a 62gr

Yes in my 6 ARC.

 

[todbartell]

Yes in my 6 ARC.

I've shot the factory V-Match 80gr in my kid's 6ARC and they're pretty good. Didn't bounce off a coyote last winter I've handloaded them in my 6mm Creed, only with one powder so far - accuracy was usable, but not a standout!
