[biff's reloading]

Mine is a 700 VS in.223. I use 52 grain Sierra Match bullets. 40 grain ballistic tips are very accurate as well.

I have 22-250s, 223, 204, 17hmr, 6bra and 6creed, used to use a 257wby with 90gr blitz kings on coyotes, awesome combo, often they wouldn't exit. A 22creed is a good option for coyotes, if ur leaning more towards lots of shooting a smaller varmints, hands down a 22br. U will have a ton of barrel life and performance. If ur shooting under 300yards the 204 is hard to beat

 

[257WTBY]

I run several
Rem 700 LVSF in 17 Rem
Multiple AR's in 17 Rem, 204 Ruger, .223 and 6.5 Grendel (grendel on coyotes a good bit)
Ruger 77V in 220 swift
Rem 700 in 222
Tikka T3 CTR in 223
Tikka T3 in 204
Custom in 22-243
Custom 22 Creedmoor
Custom .243
Custom 243 WSSM
The ones I use most 17 Rem and 22 Creedmoor for coyotes
We dont have many Prairie Dog I shoot mostly rock chucks and it depends on the day which rifle I take.

I'm looking a building a 22 creedmoor.

222 Rem mag (35 & 40 gr) and 204 ruger (32 gr )

If you build a 22 creedmoor, what action do you use ?

 

[6MM06AI]

I've built 20-250's, 22-243's, 6-06AI, 260AI and started with a savage 204 then got into building rifles! I prefer the 20-250 or the 22-243 they do a really good job killing coyotes!

 

[257WTBY]

If you build a 22 creedmoor, what action do you use ?

I used a Rem 700 action w/ proof c/f barrel McMillan game warden stock and trigger tech trigger. I went with a 20in barrel so I could run my can.

There are lots of actions to choose from but I already had the 700 so I went with that.

Prairie Dogs or Coyotes, wife and I use Savage Axis's in 223 Remington with 27.1 grains of TAC behind a 40 grain Sierra Blitz King. We also have Remington 700's in 22-250, Savage in 204, and two customs in 220 Swift. Mostly the 223's are used and the others stay in the safe. One other I didn't mention above is a Winchester 70 varmint light with a laminated stock in 243. I load it with H4895 and 55 grain Blitz Kings that run over 4000 FPS. It is spectacular on Prairie Dogs sounds like a detonation when it hits.

A 243:at 4000fps? That's a hypersonic missile!

Remington 700 VSSF, 22-250, cryo treated barrel, action blueprinted and trued, scope bases and mounts got a lot of attention. Bausch & Lomb 6-24x scope. Took the bi-pod off forever!!!! I use a wide variety of other guns for fun, but the 22-250 for serious work. 17HMR, 22LR, 22Mag, 22 Hornet, .222, .223, .243, 6mm, 25-06, 50BMG, and odd balls like old cowboy or military guns. My old Ruger 10/22 Deluxe has killed more varmints than all my other guns combined.

 

[leftyviper280]

I'm looking a building a 22 creedmoor.

I'm using a Thompson Center Dimension yet in 22-250… 55 grain berger mef bullet 39 grains of H380 average of 3611 fps lapua cases. Sub Moa but have to fit rounds to fit magazine so I'm .060 oval too give but it works for last 6 years

 

[crashlanding]

Tikka t3 22.250 heavy barrel for prairie dogs, truck/yote gun is an old 700 adl 22.250 as well

 

[Hugnot]

.17HMR, .20P (40 VMAX), .22-.250 (75 ELDM), 6mmCM (87 VMAX), 6.5-06 (123 ELDM), .300WM (178 ELDM). At the moment I am "thrilled" with the 6mmCM. 87 VMAX, & 44.4 Staball, often 1-hole groups at 100, 2-inch at 300 with promises of 1/4 mile & greater hits on rodents. I have a modest supply of small primer pocket brass, Staball, & 87 VMAX bullets. Close enough performance to 6mm AI with easy to get brass.

Old 35 YO, clamp barrel .22LR, Ruger M77/22 with Douglas barrel has killed more pounds of gophers than any one of the above. Shooting Aguila ammo now & real pleased with that ammo, close to dime size groups at 50 yards.
