I was wondering if anyone was using reloader 26 in their 22 creedmoor?

How did you go about starting load development
I have 75 and 80 grain A-max as well as 88 grain eldm
The 88 grain is what I really want to load but I have more of others

I started at 40 grains and worked up slow until I hit pressure and velocity I felt good with. Ended with pressure at 43 grains I think. I shoot them at 3300 out of a 7 twist. I think the 88s will blow apart at that twist and speed, I would slow them down to 3000-3100 to make sure they don't break apart. I haven't lost a Berger yet

I went with an 8 twist barrel for that reason
