The 22 creedmoor thread

[waspocrew]

Can’t help with H4350, but I’m .020” off the lands with the 77 TMK. Shoots them well with RL-26 and Alpha brass.

Here’s my new 22CM and dedicated thermal gun. First 18 rounds out of the gun. The barrel seems to already gained speed in the first 40 rounds. I’m around 3950fps with 39.5 grains of Varget.

Shot a coyote in the back of the head last night and there was no skull cap left.

That’s scooting along! What projectile are you shooting?

 

[Duh]

A 53gr vmax. My gun smith ordered a reamer specifically for the 53-55grainers.

Are you just using a clip on for thermal?

No I’ve got a Nocpix H50R that I put on after i verified the accuracy was there with 39.5 grains.

How fast you running those? I ran them at 3450 with N555 from a 22in barrel, made a mess of coyotes.

That is wicked. What twist is the barrel?

3406 from a 20” barrel. I’m sure they are nasty on coyotes!

It’s a 1:12 twist from PBB

My 22-250 barrel was toast, so I put my LS Wild group buy barrel in the game.

PBB 18”, 7.5 twist, 22 creed .120, Lite Hybrid contour, 5/8 threaded 32.25oz no fluting:

77gr SMK: 2.54” (lands at 2.5630”) 38.5gr H4350 3045fps

I’m prob a little warm (no signs) w the TMKs but seeing 3350 on 20” barrel.

I'm spiking out early on the bootleg brass. This was the last of the first firing. I think it will get there on 2nd or 3rd firing. I don't want to turn necks or buy brass.

Only 44 rounds on barrel as well.

This load is close to quick drop. I'm currently thinking 22 creed is the practical way to 22 cal quick drops over 22 arc, 22-250 and 223ai when you're sitting on a bunch of 6.5 creed brass.

The PBB barrel is great with the 77s.



I wish i could get my 1:7 PVA barrel that cost twice as much to shoot the 88s like this.

Let us know how the PBB ends up shooting the 80 & 88’s.

Nice. I have a PBB that @hereinaz put together. Likely gonna shoot the 80 m or x just have to see which shoots better in factory loads.

Ill go back and forth soon waiting on mirage to pass and post pics.

We should start a separate thread for load data on those pbb barrels. I ran a few powders with 80x and they were so-so. The factory box of 80x shot real well, so I know it's possible.

I tried the 80X with 2 powders in my rechambered tikka barrel and it hated them. Loves the 88's and 77's but not dice on the 80's. M was ok, X was 2"+ groups.

The 80Xs are little bastards and picky on everything.

If you obtain a load that shoots then with decent velocity and around 1 MOA let it roll.

I didn't feel like spending too much time tinkering with different powders and seating depth so I just moved on. 77's and 88's shoot great at 100 so for fun am going to test them at 800 and pick whichever shoots better to hunt with.
