22 CREEDMOOR 88 GR ELDM CULL BUCK

Cull Buck Series – 22 Creedmoor 88gr ELD-M

The Cull Buck Series is built for hunters who demand serious accuracy, consistent performance, and devastating terminal effects—without paying top-shelf prices. Like our premier offerings, each round undergoes handloading, quality control, and multi-platform testing. The difference? We cut costs where it counts: using proven lower-cost brass and projectiles, while maintaining top-quality powders for reliable ignition, clean burn, and excellent temperature stability.
We leverage everything we’ve learned from our most demanding builds—but keep pricing down by skipping premium match brass and boutique bullets.

Why We Chose the 88gr ELD-M

• The 88gr ELD-M features an extremely high ballistic coefficient (G1: 0.545 / G7: 0.274) for its weight class, offering long-range precision, superior wind performance, and consistent expansion.

• Its heavier weight and sleek profile make it a fantastic option for deer-sized game and smaller—offering flat-shooting capability from 0–300 yards, and strong retained energy further out.

• The 22 Creedmoor has proven highly effective in shorter barrels, and the 88gr load shines particularly well in setups from 18" to 24".

Testing & Velocity Data

These are actual velocities recorded at 75°F and 2,550 ft elevation. We've also included estimated 30°F velocities using our in-house simulation model—accounting for temperature variance and barrel-specific shifts.
This simulation is based on thousands of rounds across dozens of platforms and powders. Big ammo companies won’t tell you this—but we will.

Note: These are well-validated simulations, but as always—you should chronograph your own rifle for precise drop and velocity inputs.

Important Platform Notes

• Bolt-Action Only: This offering is not verified or tuned for semi-autos. Pressures are slightly higher than standard factory rounds.

• Twist Rates: Minimum recommended twist is 1:8 or faster. Slower twist barrels will not stabilize the 88gr ELD-M reliably.

• Cleaning Advisory: The 22 Creedmoor demands strict maintenance. We strongly recommend thorough barrel cleaning every 100 rounds to prevent carbon ring buildup and pressure spikes.

• Storage: Always store ammunition in a cool, dry place to preserve performance and safety.
