“The 22 Creedmoor Project”

Results from the NRL shoot this weekend.

It was a blast. And shooting the 22CM was also enjoyable. I didn’t shoot it quite as well as the 7-300, but not an apples to apples comparison between the stages either.

Hahaha stage 13 was trashhhh. Super steep hill with 2 positions and two targets at like 900+ yards I think. I only got shots off at the first position. Timed out before I shot the second position

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 was recently shooting on a wet, misty day. I rolled a couple of my 6cm/115dtac/lapua srp loads in the wet grass and fired them. I had fairly heavy bolt lift and minor ejector marks. Is this what you would consider water safe, or are you looking for normal function? This is a McGowen prefit. I had some 115 dtacs loaded for a different 6cm and just ran them through this new barrel. It started as 43gr 4831sc and shoots really well but I started getting pressure signs about 50rds in. I pulled the bullets and reloaded with 41 grains which eliminated pressure signs until cases were wet. I now have 100pcs of lapua srp brass shot through this barrel. I'm going to try h4350 and see if I can get a little more speed.

That is exactly what I would expect and call water safe. My goal for a wet round is function without becoming a locked up or popped primer. If you’re shooting a case with water droplets on it, it’s likely the bolt thrust alone from it not sticking to chamber walls creates ejector swipe.

The saga of the Horse 22 CM test barrel is over. At 600 rounds, it honestly looks perfectly fine inside and still shot excellent. Just tired of lugging that thing around haha. If anyone wants a cheap 22 CM barrel for a defiance ruckus type action, shoot me a message.


Put a new pencil barrel on it now.


Seems be shooting the same load extremely well. This barrel is chambered with a new .120 freebore reamer.

That didn’t take long to break in lol

The new barrel is a coyote magnet.

Found a good target and plinking load. 80 ELDM’s with 40.5gr. H4350. 5 shots into a .4 and the correlating speeds for those 5 shots. Guns a freaking hammer.

Nice start with the new barrel! Recently picked up a 22 CM prefit for my Terminus Zeus. I'll probably toss it on now that rock chucks are starting to pop up in the canyons again.

It’s an awesome little cartridge. Super easy to shoot small groups and a vicious little killer!

Your a vicious little killer
