The 22 creedmoor thread

It’s not on the Hornady website. Pretty sure that’s not real

That particularly company has had other unreleased ammo for sale before any Hornady announcements, maybe it accidentally got posted though. I'll call Hornady after meetings here.

According to my rep, it’s not a typo and they’ve been working with Texas Ammunition on it for some time now.

Texas Ammunition has exclusivity to it for now apparently.

I’ll order some up and report here.

TX Ammo is related to Horizon, who brought the 22CM to market. 100% legit and I'm not surprised that Hornady made a new 69gr ELD-VT just for them and the 22CM. I know its true since I just bought 600 62gr ELD-VT's for my night hunting 22CM's lol.

That's very cool. Thanks for checking. If you could pull one and compare to a 62, that would be interesting.

They give a velocity?

He told me what they were seeing on the phone, I forgot. I’ll run a couple boxes through the garmin with a 20” 8 twist barrel when they show up.

A little more spendy, but you get Alpha brass instead of Hornady.

69 gr Blitzking at 3500+ from a 27” barrel apparently.

This could be THE predator round. Anxious to see what velocity would be. If 3300 of so from 18-20” I might not use another thermal load again.

I wonder if they will continue to make the 62gr or if this is Gen2 already?

This is my question. Why? What's the gain?

This is my question. Why? What's the gain?

I didn't have good shooting with my 1 box of 62s.

Maybe it's an improvement?

Or a different bullet that's not filled up with lead?

Anyone know the BC on the 69gr?
