Hunting Experience with 22 Creedmoor

"Something newer, kind of flashy".
Why???
Just because it's newer and flashy doesn't mean that it works any better.
How about asking your friend what cartridge he is missing or he finds really works for him and build that?

Sorry, but if I was going to do my first build, and had a cartridge already in mind, and my friend tried to talk me into another cartridge, I'd politely tell him to pound sand.

Ok, maybe not so politely..

If he builds it around the cartridge you want, while it may work, he'll always be disappointed in it because it wasn't the cartridge he wanted.

I just don't see where it's that better of a cartridge compared to the 22-250 or 220 Swift.

My new build was completed a few week ago. I've been testing with Berger 80.5FB and 85.5 Hy-Tgt bullets. Both shoot well with a variety of powders, but one load just stands out. The 80.5 and 39gr of RE17 in Alpha SRP brass will shoot consistently into 1.5"-1.75" at 400yds. The RE 17 is producing tight groups, good velocity (3,300+fps) and single digit SDs.

I only have a partial can left of RE17 and it isn't what I'd like to settle on.

What are the favorite loads that you guys have developed? What kind of groups are you seeing at distance?
