The 22 creedmoor thread

Got my dad’s Sig cross 22 Creed up and running today. Tried out Texas Ammunition’s 80 gr ELDM and 77 Custom Comp loads to get it started. Proof barrel is an 18” 1:8 twist. 100 yards (except for steel at the end).

80 ELDM
Three shots to bore sight:

Velocity across entire box of 20 rounds was 3007. Spread was a bit higher than I’d like.

Next up, 77 Custom Comp.

First “group” of 5 shots:

Then another 5 shots, but at 200 yards:

Velocity across entire box of 20 rounds was 3023. Again, spread was pretty high.

Overall, very impressed with the Proof barrel. Showing a lot of promise. More than likely, this will be fed a pretty steady diet of the 80 ELDM load (have 180 rounds left).

85.5's and a dose of 565 seems to be one of the best groups I've shot. I mentally sneezed on the high right shot.
