69g .224 caliber Absolute Hammer 22 creed starting load

[ddman]

I'm looking for a starting load. 20" 1/8 proof CF 22 creedmoor. I've been trying to search and looked at the absolute loads page but couldn't find anything on this bullet. Anyone try this combination out yet?

Care to tell us what powder, or is that wide open?

ETA: Here is a close approximation for a similar weight but different bullet and barrel length. It still gives you a fair list of things to consider and a rough idea of where to start. YMMV

I have a big selection of powders. My other 20" 1/7 22 Creed i load 70gr Berger w 45 gr 4831 sc, 3460 fps. I got it up to 3600 ish with different powders but it just stacked bullets with that load. I know the absolutes favor faster powders from my 300 wsm.

Call up Hammer - they can probably point you in the right direction. I haven't shot the absolutes, but my understanding is that you'll want to go with a faster burn rate than you typically would for the same weight.
