22 creedmoor

[waspocrew]

Also - the 88 gr ELDM is an excellent bullet. Priced right and shoots very well out of my 22-250 AI. I'm scooting them along at a comfy 3150 out of my 22" barrel. Coyotes, badgers, p dogs, and deer don't like the combo.

I plan to try them out in my 22 Creed as well.

Loaded up some 85.5 bergers with H4350 from 37.0 - 40.0gr in .5th increments. Headed out to shoot now and see how it goes. I'll update results when I get a chance.

I've got a bunch of the 85.5's waiting to be loaded as well. Looking forward to the report.

I had my reamer (JGS) done for my .22 Creedmoor (40 Degree) with .100 Freebore. My 22x47 Lapua (Manson) is .114 Freebore. Set the reamers up for the 95gr Sierra. Settled on the 88gr ELD-M's and the 80.5gr Berger's. The 80.5gr Berger's are spooky accurate. They hold an inch group or under at 300 yards across three rifles. Two bolt rifles (22CM Improved/ 22x47) both 1-8 twist and a 1-7 twist AR-10 in 22 CM.

The 80.5gr Berger's are super easy to load. Super forgiving on seating depth . They just shoot. The seating depth is a little more critical with the 88gr ELD-M but when you find what the rifles likes , they are amazing with a super BC.

Exact powder/ bullet I am shooting in my long barrel 22 Creedmoor for matches.
Still using 75gr and 6.5 Staball for predators in the short barrel

venatic,..
How much StaBall with the 75's and WHAT, Twist ?
Thanks ! .22 Creed will BE, my Next, Yote Rifle, too !

 

[Idaho Lefty]

Mine shoots well with the Staball... 43.4gr from 21 inch barrel runs 3300 with 75 gr

That's a LOT of,.. StaBall ! I was thinking 37 to 39 grains with, 75's ?
Any Pressure,.. "Issues" ?

Shot a ladder of H4350 with 85.5 Bergers today. Speeds not as consistent as I would like but had a decent node around 38.5gr and 3100fps. Might try another powder to see if I can get ES down.

Looking at trying RL23, H4831SC, or N560. Any suggestions on where I should start?

I've talked to Cooper about another rebarrel in 22 Creedmore but they're a year and a half out. My gunsmith tells me Benchmark can have one in about 6 months. I've got lapua small primer brass and a couple thousand 75 and 88 grain ELDM's. Plenty of powder on hand too. This is the Cooper with an 1132 yard prairie dog. 85.5 grain Berger's at 3140 in a 22-250. Pretty enthusiastic about the creed from all these posts!

Been playing with the 22 Creedmoor for a few weeks. Peterson brass, 80 gr Berger VLD, H4350.
18" barrel.

Built mine on the Terminus Apollo.

My first .22 Creedmoor was a 16". I went on the short side. So I could run it suppressed for calling coyotes. It was a dog with the heavies velocity wise and was down the road fairly quick.

I'm looking to build, a 24 inch, .22 Creed with, a 1-9 Twist to, shoot, 53 V-Maxes, 55 Nosler Bal Tips or, Sierra 55 gr. Blitz's, on the "Light" side for, Sage Rats and Rock Chucks then, use, ( Re-Zero rifle of, course ) the 69 gr. Sierra TMK's or, 73 gr. VLD Bergers @ 3,400 for, Winter Yotes & LR Steel, Fun.
Hopefully getting, good Velocity ( But not, Screamers ) to get some, "descent" Barrel Life ( est 1200 - 1500 Shots ). My "theory" anyway, LOL !
Blowing Jackets OFF Bullets and SUB 1,000 rounds of, Barrel Life, are NOT,.. "My Cup of, Tea". Many guys, will Build One, NEVER to try, this Cartridge,.. again !

I will actually see how many rounds a .22 CM barrel will last by the end of this summer. I have 810 rounds on mine right now. I have 5 boxes(100 each) of 80.5gr Berger's left. Then I will see where it's at at 1310 rounds. You never know. My 25 SAUM only went 700 rounds and I played nice with that barrel. My last 6.5 CM Bartlein barrel went a little over 2600 rounds before I had to rebarrel. It was still shooting 1" @ 300 yards with 2150 on it.
