    The 22 creedmoor thread

    I havnt seen any 4831 data out yet, but they are burning a bunch of powders around that burn rate.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    42 grains of h4831sc with a 77 tmk made 3000 fps for me in a 16” rifle, with Peterson brass. Shot very well and wasn’t hard on brass. Tmk at 22 creed speed, close range are destructive! Not using them because last year I lost front shoulders even when the shot was not on the shoulder.

    16" .223 twist rate 1:7 or 1:8

    Zero downside to a 1:7 in a 223, especially a short one.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    I do I was enough on the ragged edge of pressure with h4350 that I would get pressure signs with any moisture or heat. With 77s, 80s and 88s H4831sc left me with higher case fill, and was insensitive enough that I could get the barrel hot and deal with some moisture. I just had my barrel...

    2024 Antelope meatpole

    I feel the same, I’ll do it again. Next time I’m making it last more than one day! Hoping they taste good, prepping some antelope Phillies right now.

    2024 Antelope meatpole

    First goat. Wyoming. Was a fun change of pace.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    Bore size plays a role. H4350 is too hot for heavy 22 cm imo. Even 6 creed I have needed to move to a slower powder. Great in the 6.5 though

    Suppressors - first round impact shift

    That’s unfortunate. I have cans I regret in the safe. They never get used. Expensive mistakes. I’m thousands of rounds and multiple barrel into the three main suppressors I shoot, all Tbac, without any issues what so ever.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    80eldx did about what is expected. Lack of recoil made a follow up too quick, wasted more meat than I needed to.

    Crazy - Factory Ammo vs. Handload Costs

    Same can be said for factory though. Precisely why buying reloading supplies in bulk is easier. The sooner you are able to buy same lot everything for one barrel, the easier things become. Here’s an example: off blue collar right now Plus 125 for 1k primers. ~1200 for the barrel...

    What should I know for long range match?

    Probably not. A dasher dosnt have much out there either though. Neither is ideal imo. The prc may be okay if there’s a lot of prone. You could probably take both as well. From your last description it sounds a little farther than your average PRS match.

    What should I know for long range match?

    I’d take the 223. You are not going to spot anything with the 6.5prc. You can probably shoot nearly the whole match with a bipod and one bag. It’s not terrible idea to get a bag and practice with it.

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    You don’t need a sharpener to bone out a mule deer. Good edge with a decent knife should make it through that without issues.

    Why use a Suppressor?

    99% of hunters who say they wear ear plugs every time, don’t wear ear plugs every time. I just made that up. But it’s about accurate for the people I hunt with.

    Suppressors - first round impact shift

    Probably more related to your barrel than the suppressor. I’m not sure how DD designs their cans but if this was an issue you would likely see more. I have no shift on my rifles for first round, though they are often around 15- 20fps slower. Whether that’s the can being filled with air, or...

    6ARC Tikka

    Arc would require a smaller bolt to be opened up. No you can’t fire a smaller case head in a larger bolt. I mean you can probably fire it, but it’s not going to come out. 6 arc makes a lot of sense for someone who isn’t a reloader. For those that are, 6br, 6bra or dasher seem more appealing...

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    This should be interesting. You’re going to burn that barrel down quick. If you log velocity for everything that would be interesting as well.

    If a 22 mag for bear defense…

    An update for those wondering. The s&w 22 mag is getting pulled from bedside duty. Been shooting more drills with it in the yard and having an occasional malfunction. I have a thousand or so rounds though it and it’s just not reliable enough to trust. The 5.7 I had to test fed reliably and...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Iv been close to buying a 6gt but havnt. Probably a better choice than dasher but I’m going all in on alpha dasher for my game gun so figured may as well on my hunting rifle as well. From digging, I probably would have been shooting the GT at similar powder charges as I am my 6 creed. The...
