Thread: 22-204 and 88 grain eld-m

Anyone got any load data for this combination? Keen to hear peoples velocities and powder loads if possible before I try it out.

Ask Kiwi Greg. He invented the calibre.

It's pretty plurry close to 222 magnum. The 222magnum was necked down to make the 204 ruger... Which was necked up etc to make your 204-22

So what is some .222 Rem Mag data for the 88 then?

Hold the line caller...

From Nick Harvey's third edition. Not too hard to work load from there...

I can tell you in .223 with what seems like a SAAMI chamber I could only fit about 22.5gr of 2208 under an 88. That's all the help I am.

2010 adi

sierra manual

thanks for the replies guys. Looks like the 224 valkyrie data might work too, case capacity is 1 gr more than the 204 Ruger. I will report back when I've done a bit of testing

Yea it’s more different than people think to the the 222mag shoulders blown forward and steeper shoulder angle it’s closer to 5.6x50, iv got some data it might just take some finding you’ll need a 7.5 twist for starters assuming you do il dig out what I have?

Easier to find than I thought

Brilliant, thanks Kelton. What barrel
Length are those velocities from?
