I can only use 22 cal at night here in WV or I'd be using a 6mm of some sort. I didn't take a picture of the holes in the coyote but it was nasty lol could hear the bone grating across truck bed

What are people getting for barrel life in 22 Creed when shooting PRS style matches? Call it 100ish rounds per day in 10 shot strings over a given time period?
I want to convert my 22-250 to 22 creed for target shooting, I just don't know if it's worth it over a 6mm due to barrel life.

IMHO it would not be worth it. The 22 Creedmoor seems to only get around 1100 rounds of barrel life. Also, you would have to slow it way down as most PRS/NRL matches have a 3200fps speed limit. Based on that you will have much better ballistics with a 6mm.
Not sure about if you were to get up to the 90gr bullet weight range tho.....

Can't seem to attach it here. Computers seem to always kick my butt!!

I used to shoot mid range benchrest…wise old man used to tell me "they make barrels while we sleep at nite, don't worry about barrel life"
Shooting life is more fun when you're standing it 22 Creedmoor with an 70-90 grain bullet is enough fun I ain't missing out because of 1,000 round barrel life.
I used to pull my 6br improved barrels off around 1,100 rounds and that's a lot more rounds than you realize. Get what makes you happy…

Thanks
