    Seems like a mistake to not offer the 88gr load.

    As Greg said you can get the 88s doing well over 3200fps, 80s even faster.

    You won't be buying a 22CM for high volume varmint shooting so 3500fps is totally unnecessary, especially at the expense of weight and BC, both of with reduce the energy on target.

    Unless they intend to download it a bit so if can be used for varmints (while not killing your barrel in 800 rounds), but that would also be stupid
