22 creed on coyotes

[sportsmans challenge]

I've got the 62 gr ELDVT up to 3650 out of my 22 CM. Going to toss the thermal on it and go with that for the winter. Hoping to put a few down with that combo.

Will be a laser, I ran mine 3600 with those last winter on dogs with the thermal. Was a great combo. Switched back to 69 tmk after some dogs needing multiple shots and got low on bullets available.
Have more for this winter

I like the 69 tmk running 3400 out of a 20" ...I just finished up a 16.5 ” 22 creed running new 62 eldvt at 3100

69gr Sierra TMK doing work!

Longest kill on a coyote with 22 Creed and 80 ELDX is 970 yards so far. First shot miss. Adjusted wind hold and lunged him. He ran 50-70 yards and died in some cactus.

Curious, what twist barrel are you running? I was gonna go with a.1:7, but then ended up going with the traditional1:8... hope I don't regret my choice. Plan on shooting the 80ELDX also.

Looks like 1:8 based on "8 twist" on this comment.

Yep 8 twist. See @dailyheroldinked post for full details on my Tikka.

My next 22 Creed barrel being cut right now is a 7 twist though. You’ll be fine and dandy with 8 twist.

Good to know... just looking at the RPM's it gave me a little pause.

1:7 shooting Berger 80.5 full bore at 3183 fps. Has worked really well for me over the last few seasons. Also shot some 75 gr eldm that were also great!

Do the berger's just poke holes and exit or fo they expand and tip them over ...ie DRT?
How do they group at distance ...??
Curious if they will stay moa at 400 500 600 yds?

They usually pack a pretty good punch and tip them over right there, but the exits are pretty gnarly. Usually at least fist sized, so I would not consider this to be a fur friendly load. From what I have observed over the years is anything that is fast flying usually does some pretty gnarly damage, but that is just my experience. This load has been super accurate, when truing up velocity for my kestrel, I was getting 3/4 Moa groups at 600. I bought several hundred rounds from unknown munitions before I started reloading.

@mxgsfmdpx My Gawd what an ugly stock! I just ordered a Tikka LH 22-250 and plan on having it punched to Creed just like yours. Obviously no issues stabilizing an 80 grain with that factory barrel?

Anything to look out for when punching the factory tube?

Overall impression on shooting that WT with 80 ELD-X?

F-Me......Wow! I skipped seeing your photo of the rifle and moose skull, or assumed it was a "Pic for attention" type photo. Wow!

I've shoot a 223AI with 77TMKs for years. But never bigger than Coyote. Impressive
