    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

    Coyote rifle build suggestions

    My favorite coyote set ups are a 16" 243win tikka 10 twist. It wears a Steiner S35 thermal most of the time. 55gr Nosler BTs at 3615fps 69gr absolute hammers at 3450fps 87gr V Max at 3050fps The other is an 18" 22creedmoor tikka 8 twist. 69gr TMKs at 3350fps 62gr Eld VT at 3625fps. 80gr Eld M...

    The 25 sst...up and running

    Looks like it's going to shoot decent. This is roughly +.016” jump, 5mph 10cl wind. Mild load with my original 58gr of H-1000, COAL 2.850” Pulled this scope off another rifle for now and it rides a little high.

    375 wsm, 375 rem mag or 375 saum

    No parent case is Rich’s MEGA design. It’s a one off case that’s slightly larger than the WSM

    95gr .224 Sierra match king

    Currently I’m running 80gr eldms. I’m waiting on a Bartlein .219 5r 7.5-6.8 gain twist to run the 95smk. At 6.8 GSF is still 1.45 to get the most out out of the BC. I was going to go with a 7 twist but I’ve seen 1-2 other guys running 7 twist and would have a shot key hole from time to time...

    22BRA Varmint rig

    28” would be good. 62gr eld vt should go 3500-3550 and 80s at 3200. Although 80s at 3200 in a 7.5 will be at 307K rpm. Might be better off with the 85,88,or 90gr for your heavy load. Plenty of guys running over 300k rpm but just something to think about.

    The 25 sst...up and running

    Oh yea! I bore scoped it before I took to him and it looked pretty rough. Meant to bore scope it again before I shot it but haven’t yet. I shot it again just before dark at distance just messing around, it was still pretty windy. I have no idea if rechambered barrels speed up again like with...

    Absolute Hammer load data

    Revisited this today except with necked down lake city brass everything else is the same besides that. Looks I should be able to run these around 3450fps with better brass. Not bad for a suppressed shorty. 43 3357fps 43.5 3414 44gr 3462 44.5 3516 45gr 3581 ej mk
