22BR Loads

[Jud96]

I'm kicking around the idea of building a 22BR for Varmint hunting. I want to shoot the heavy 80-88gr bullets. I plan to use either Lapua or Peterson 6BR Brass and neck it down. What's everyone's loads using these heavy bullets in the 22BR? Planning to use/try IMR 8208, IMR 4166, Varget, H4350, and RL16. I'm hoping for 3000-3050FPS with the 88 ELD from a 26" barrel without excessive pressure. Thanks

No love for the 22BR on here. Did you ever build yours?

No it's still a .243

I'm strongly considering a short barrel 22BR build. Might have to wander over to the hide for some input.

i use 28 grains of varget with a 80 grain sierra for 3000 FPS.

Most accurate rifle I own.
