Why not straight vanilla 22-250? It still leaves you a mile in the mag-box. 75’s touch @ 2.625, that leaves an awful lot @ 2.8”. Brass is pretty easy to find too (except Lapua right now).

I’m going to finish the ‘Creed @ 22” and run the 75’s as fast as E=MC2 will allow. I went 1:7 because who knows what’s coming next in the realm of projectiles?

I have a 1:8 Lilja'd 22-250 Montana finished @ 22". I shoot 75 A-max's out of it @ 3275fps via '26. Lilja shipped a 1:7 .224 Montana contour Thursday that's going to become a 22Creed. I'll start w/the 75's as I still have a pretty good pile of them.

If I was staring over I'd be looking hard @ CFE223, Lever, Tac, and Big Game for their slick metering through automatic powder measurers. Running prepped brass through a progressive is slicker than snot in a rock.

I've run about 3500 rounds of 155's through my 20" 308. Varget and R-15 gave me virtually identical performance regarding accuracy, velocity, low ES/SD. Ultimately I chose '15 because it was more accurate/consistent through a Dillon powder measure than Varget. '15 will hold +/- .2gn, Varget...

Ramshot Magnum is a good choice for 105’s in the 243AI, I’m assuming heavier projectiles work well w/Magnum also.

Screw your die into your press from underneath with the die mouth facing up out the top of the press so you have a steady platform to work with. It's easier to see what's going on as you can get a lot of light into the die that way as well. EZ-Out or Tap should work.

I'd be in for 2 if I could find 2000Gal cans of Hoppe's #9 to keep the bbl clean. Other than the Hoppe's I think I can manage the rest.

Handiness. I've got a 1:7 bbl on the way for a Kimber Montana that will become a 22Creed. It will be finished @ 22".

257STW worth a look too depending on what you can find for brass. Basically the same thing minus the double-radius shoulder.

Yep. The worst of the worst people that in the best of times have 0 regard for human life, become ruling warlords in very short order.

Your closest non-ash-buried next of kin would get the bill.

Doubtful, IRS is far enough away to remain operational. They wouldn’t let a little thing like a biblical proportion natural disaster stand between them and your money.

If Winchester had offered the 22 and 243 WSSMs w/1:8 twist we might not have a CreedMoor family….

25WSM?
