22CM or 6CM for tikka build

[kkp005]

I’ve got a boring ol 308 tikka laying around that I’m wanting to turn into something else.

Will be mainly for texas sized game. Deer, hogs, coyotes out to 400-500 tops.

Currently have a stash of 77gr TMK’s that I used in my 223 and 22-250 that I’d want use in the 22 creed. Also have 6creed already so I’d prob be shooting 95gr TMK’s, 95gr NBT or 105 Berger hybrids.

Looking at going 18” to run a can. What would you go with ?

Since you already have a 6CM why build another, I'd go 22CM.

I’d have a hard time building a a 22cm and not design it to shoot 88s

turn that boring 308 into your scope proofing rifle. with the long barrel life it's perfect for that job. it seems like you've got the small bore killers covered already.

C’mon now! That makes to much sense from a financial perspective

I’d definitely try them out….but man I’m a fan boyyy of those little green goblins

Would a 1-8 twist be good for 77s and 88s

I am a big fan of the tmk as well. I just would hate to burn more powder and not take the ballistic advantage. I havnt shot anything with the 88s yet and cannot comment on twist, I got a 7 on my 22creed

I could see using the tmk in a coyote situation where you want the flatter trajectory though.
