“The 22 Creedmoor Project”

Careful with that. You’re up there in pressure according to velocity. Wrecking some brass will be okay but I’d hate to etch my firing pin on a load that honestly is probably not safe with any moisture involved.

I water test my match rounds and will on my hunting stuff as welll, though I now purposely load fairly low because of it. Quite a few match shooters have figured this out after blowing brass on rainy days. Im shooting 42 grains of h4831sc on my 22 creed.

Is a water test as simple as it sounds? Just start low, wet your ammo and shoot it? Seems like a good thing to figure out before a hunt goes bad.

I normally make it as realistic as I can and shoot in the rain/snow.

Couple rounds wet by dropping in snow or set out in the rain.

Careful doing this. It’s going to wreck brass and at Rokslide standard 70,000 psi it’s not advised. Proceed at your own risk.

I learned about this the hard way on a hunt in Alaska. I was 1 grain under where I saw pressure and was blowing primers out on wet cases from river crossings. I pulled another grain out but haven’t tested to see if that’s enough. I don’t think it needs to be any harder than dipping it in water or spraying it with water.

I’ll load up 38 & 39gr. as well then and start at 38gr.

I’m not going to test it any higher than I have to. Just want to see where it gets dicey at.

Off topic, but you should go shoot a nrl hunter match in the skills division with this gun. You would have fun

I’m sure I would enjoy it and learn a lot also. I think there is one pretty close to me annually
