22 GT vs Creed

[TradLife406]

I ended up with Grandpas Browning highwall B78 in 22-250. It's a great gun. I had the barrel threaded last year and with a can it's like an unsuppressed 22 lr.
But when I last cleaned the barrel I noticed a lot of "cracks/lines" going the diameter of the bore all the way down.
And it won't even shoot a 50 gr vmax with varget. Factory isn't much better. Like 2-4 moa.

Thinking about getting a new barrel. I'm leaning hard on 22 GT since alpha has brass and Hodg has load data. Don't really care about buying factory.

I was going over Hodg data yesterday and there doesn't seem to be much difference between the creed or the GT. Kind of thinking a 22" barrel with a can.

Pretty sure the b78 extractor can grab either head case.

Anyone know which has the better barrel life? Is the GT a little better than the 22-250?

Seems the 22-250 is sort of falling off. The only brass I can find is Hornady which is sort of blah.

If you base barrel life off powder capacity the GT would have a slight edge as long as everything else is the same. Otherwise I think it’s 6 for one and half a dozen for the other in terms of performance with the creed having a touch more velocity.

Either will work. There’s nothing wrong with the 22-250. Although dated, it’s a very capable cartridge. Especially with a faster twist like 1:8”.

The GT case has basically the same capacity as a 22-250 IIRC. It's the modern version without all the body taper. That's the direction I'd go to get better brass than 22-250, have less case stretch, and be less overbore than 22 creed.

I've wanted an ackley 22-250 but the GT seems the easy button.

GT all the way
