22 creedmoor savage long range precision

[Weaver93]

Superformance and 95 grain SMKs or 80 grain HHTs do well in mine.

I'm currently shooting 88 eldm's, 7 twist criterion barrel. Shoots extremely good but the 90 grain bergers were better but couldn't find so switched. I put 5 shots into one hole at 200 one time and won a 600 match with the bergers. 6.5 staball powder, 3140fps

RL-23 works great in my 22 Creed and the 88 ELDM. H4350 and the 95 SMK are also shooting very well.

Guys,
finally got my hands on some of the Hornady 22 Creedmoor 80 grain ELD-X factory ammo
26" Shilen 1:7 barrel
Numbers from Garmin Xero
40 shots fired at 200 yards
Best 5 shot group was little better than 1/2 Moa at .90 inches
Not overly impressed with the accuracy but actually not terrible
ES 41.7
SD 11.7
Avg velocity 3339.7
Waiting to try the 80 grain Eld-M when I can get some

Has anyone tried Hendershot's ammo?

The 88s will be marginally stable with an 8 twist. I like the 80 ELDM and 77 TMK. If you want a tougher bullet, there's the new 80 ELDX, and of course hammers are always great

I've got 4 22 Creedmoor's all 1/8 twist. In 3 of them I've had half moa or better with 75-90 gr bullets and very little load work. They are all customs. The newest is a factory rifle and it's struggling to get moa with anything. I've only shot handloads up to this rifle so I tried factory ammo from hornady and another and they are 1.5 moa in this rifle.

I've used Copper Creek's ammo quite a bit and my rifle shoots their 75gr and 88gr ELD-M's exceptionally well for me
It shoots their 80 Eld-M and Eld-X pretty good also
The 75 Grainers are absolute lasers at 3500 fps and very accurate at distance
My rifle is a home built special

I don't hunt just shoot steels at my local long range
I hope to take it out to a mile with 88's at Clinton House Plantation in the next couple of months

My 22" 1:8 22-250 AI has no problems with the 88 ELDM - slinging them at a comfy 3150 and grouping very well out to 750.

I just worked up a very similar load.

 

[Lapua904]

So far I have tried Alpha and Peterson brass
Both work excellent as expected
I have some Hornady brass now also and will try it soon

Has anyone tried Hendershot's ammo?

Yes, plenty of bullet choices, they load a little hotter than factory loads but still in a tight safety margin with very consistent chrono speed. They've loaded 7STW, 300 H&H and 338-06 ammo for me.
