.223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

88 tmk and a 22 creed would be a devastating combo.

I know, I was thinking that this is something that should happen.

How about a 88 gr. .223, a 110 gr. .243, and a 150 gr. .264?

The 88 eld-m doesn't bounce off things at creed speeds

Yeah if tikka made a factory 22 creed I would have one for that bullet.

And it still might be easier to rebarrel to 22 creed than to find the 77 tmk in stock.

I figured it was indeed 88gr tipped bullets.. here is what I found.
Haha, that will teach me to believe everything @Ryan Avery says. I spent a solid 15 min looking for an 88gr tmk.

Pretty sure those are 88gr hornady eldm “seconds”

I agree. I thought it was plausible due to it being called out as a one-time run.

They(Tikka) have a 1:8 22-250, won't launch the 88 eld- m but will certainly boost the tmk downrange

The 88 works fine in my tikka

On paper or on animals?
Hornady reccomends a 1:7.

Our group had used the 88’s on 22CM rechambered 22-250’s quite bit. They work fine.

Ryan is out here making people hunt for samsquatch. Must be drinking too much Idaho Silver.

Finally getting around to loading up some tmk’s, they seem to be shooting well. I pulled the low one, hoping for around 2750fps, load is lapua brass cci450 23.1gr xbr 2.28” oal.

Little tip to aid in smoother seating. Little imperial on a big q tip spun on the chamfer before seating, that or if your using a mandrel the same prior to running the mandrel down.

1st firing on the Lapua?

Eurooptic has Tikka .223 Stainless in stock for those looking for one. I have one, chopped to 17 inches and using TBAC Ultra 7. Getting over 2750 fps with 77 gr TMK using Ramshot TAC. I have some 8208 XBR I bought specifically for this rifle in case TAC didn't work out but so far the TAC has been great. No crazy temperature swings. Have shot this load from 60-100 degree ambient temp and velocity remains within 10 fps.

The Tikka T3 lite/223/77gr TMK/suppressed/SWFA combo is still the baddest B. No less than six have been sold in the last week from shooting mine.

Mine is wearing a SWFA 3-15x42 with Milquad reticle. I have a 3-9x42 on backorder that will go on this rifle once it arrives. Looking forward to taking some deer with this setup in the Fall.

But where are they getting the 77gr tmks from? That's the piece of all this I can't figure out. So, I'm thinking about just doing a prefix for 22 creed to run 88 eldms out of my current tikka action/stock since eldms seem to pop up more frequently.
