    Best case lube!

    Alcohol lanolin mix 10:1 or pag220 oil which is probably similar to STP.

    What is the the most flat shooting cartridge yall can think of?

    25cal will be a good choice for coyotes and deer. I dual load for mine with the 90gr absolutes and 131gr ace. I actually have a 22” 25cal barrel here that I was going to do a 25Sherman with for 90gr absolutes and Speer 100gr bullets. But I did 2 other builds instead. A Hornady engineer said...

    What is the the most flat shooting cartridge yall can think of?

    Flattest shooting coyote cartridge to 400 yards? 20creed 22-284 6prc Easy button. 22creed and 62gr eld vt. Im running them at 3625fps in a 18" barrel. Sounds like you're interested in the 25cals though. In that case 25Sherman and 90gr absolute hammers. They will do around 3850 in a 26"...

    .585 BF Short Action?

    I believe Pierce will make it. They made one for Swamplord anyway. “Pierce 800 Thumper”

    243 Weatherby 307 and 88gr Hammer Hunter bullets

    37.5gr was 2900fps out of a 16” Bbl so 3100- 3200sounds about right for a 22”

    I ran them with 37.5gr of h4350 in my rifle. It’s a mild load.

    Alpha 22 Creedmoor brass - LRP or SRP?

    I believe most custom actions have a firing pin diameter that's ideal for lrp & srp. Just ask them if it will work with srp's before you buy a new action. The most common issues where from factory 700 firing pins. The pin diameter is larger and can cause ignition issues. The solution was to have...

    Custom action @ $1,000 ??

    I’ve been liking the areo Solus had 2 rifles and one action and sold one of the rifles. See them often for $600. They’re nitrided, pretty smooth, have 60* bolt throw with light bolt lift after the firing pin’s been released, take Aw mags, have interchangeable bolt heads, integral rail and lug...

    Alpha 22 Creedmoor brass - LRP or SRP?

    SRP if you’re planning on running full throttle loads because youl get more firings out of it. Ive pressure tested Hornady, peterson, lapua lrp, and alpha ocd srp. I easily came to the conclusion Alpha ocd srp is the way to go just make sure your bolt and fpa are set up for srp’s.

    Building a 22 Creed - action length?

    Short action is all the length you need for the 22creed. My 80gr eld m loads are COAL 2.688” and that’s seated above the neck shoulder junction. Even the 95gr SMK (1.310” bullet length) seated out where it needs to be is only 2.850 COAL
