ACE mentions the possibility of a custom contour on their website. Not sure how that works functionally.

Alright, just off the phone with Blaine at UM. Got my change order in for the 22 CM.Jake told me they’d do that for me. Not sure if he meant UM, Kampfeld or ACE. I’ll try to clarify with him to let you guys know.
Finally got mine put together and out to shoot today. Shot it about 50 times, so much fun to shoot. Shot 4 types of factory ammo all under 1 MOA for 5 shot groups.
16.5” 1:8, last 10 shots with Factory Hornady 80gr ELD-M averaged 3022, figure it’ll settle in around 3050 or a little more. Tickled with it.

Absolutely not. If the speed you want can be reached in the barrel length selected there's no reason to step up, extra velocity on the high end gains very little. If your always in the open and want the speed go longer but 20 is not "too short"If you are not suppressing 20 is too short, 22 will get you a bit more velocity and less noise

Thoughts on 75gr ELD-M vs 80gr ELD-M out of 22CM for out to 600 yards for deer? The factory Hornady 80 gr ELD-M will shoot 1 MOA but it will also throw some 1.25 MOA groups while the Copper Creek 75gr ELD-M load has been consistently under 3/4 MOA for me.
My barrel really settled in after I got about 125-150 rounds through it. It went from 3/4" groups to almost stacking them on top of each other.Thoughts on 75gr ELD-M vs 80gr ELD-M out of 22CM for out to 600 yards for deer?

What’s the ideal twist for 60-80 grain bullets? 1-7” or 1-8”. It will be used in Colder temps and higher elevation. 1-8” seems to be the best. But PVA recommends 1-7”.

I’d see how they shoot after barrel breaks in. I’ve switched almost everything to the 80elds. For your purposes they have almost the same drops and retained velocitys out to 600 and the 80s at 600 have a tad less wind drift with more energy. I’d go with which one shoots best and if they both end up shooting well go with the cheaper option. In general either will do fine out to 600yds. Any further though and the 80s gaining the advantage in all aspects.Thoughts on 75gr ELD-M vs 80gr ELD-M out of 22CM for out to 600 yards for deer?

With the size of the Creed case I would worry about bullets coming apart with a 1-7" depending on barrel length/velocity.What’s the ideal twist for 60-80 grain bullets? 1-7” or 1-8”. It will be used in Colder temps and higher elevation. 1-8” seems to be the best. But PVA recommends 1-7”.
