New Alpha 22 Creedmoor OCD Brass!

[orkan]

Sneak peak for you guys.

Alpha OCD 22 Creedmoor! Been working with a test lot of this brass recently and it has been amazing. This case pictured was hit with a 80gr Berger VLD Target at 3668fps, and then was reloaded 27 additional times with an avg velocity of 3515fps before the large rifle primer pocket lost the ability to reliably hold a primer. Drastically better than previous 22 CM brass from Alpha! Not available to the public yet, but keep an eye on Alpha this summer folks!

Absurd accuracy as well, with a 3-shot group at 600yds measuring under 3/4". Some luck there for sure... but that's still very cool to be able to do when testing this new brass from alpha.

I have it on good authority the production brass is even better! We have a full article outlining the performance details in the works and an update to our 22 Creedmoor cartridge guide as well. Stay tuned!.

How's this compare to Peterson 22 Creedmoor?

I watched the two videos and I'm not going to lie, I jumped ahead a few times. WOW!! That is awesome performance for both brands of cases. It was also interesting to see how much uniforming of the primer pockets affects primer seating. Had a 100 Peterson 6 CM delivered, looking forward to see how they perform once the rifle is done. Thanks for sharing this, looked to be a tedious task.

I just bought some 6 gt and already have a few hundred in 22 creed. But I am going to retire them when the new brass hits. Been waiting for it for awhile.

Not at all... just a normal day around here.

I just picked up 300pcs of Alpha .260 Rem SRP brass for my new .260AI I am building. Can't wait to start shooting it.

For the brass that was loaded 28 times, was any annealing or anything else done along the way? Looks like awesome stuff!

Ya looked like you were in the zone towards the end of the Peterson test. Glad you stopped when you did, I was getting nervous Nothing like waiting for a case head separation to keep you on your toes

No annealing was done during this testing. Just trimming.

That's insane!

currently shooting none ocd alpha in my 6 and 25 creed. While I so far have been super impressed I would be shocked if either made it to half that life

orkan, question for you. Are you using an OEM primer pocket uniforming bit? Thanks

For this testing I was using the one supplied with the lyman prep center. I have quite a few tools, but that one seems to get used most of the time because its so easy.
