The 22 creedmoor thread

[miller3483]

Just picked up a factory take off barrel to have rechambered to 22CM. Wonder what velocity folks are seeing from 18” factory barrels with both factory ammo and reloads. Thanks.

Alright folks, I am pulling together my components now as my first barrel should be done in a month or two.

So, Peterson or Alpha? I am pretty convinced I am going to go LRP brass, but I could be persuaded into SRP if there is a good case to be made for it.

Both are fine
Alpha “hides” pressure better but has less capacity than Peterson

Usually capacity sways me as a benefit, but seeing as how case fill is pretty much not a thing with 22 creed I’m glad I went alpha.

I had great luck with Peterson 0 issues I got 7 loads out of my batch running pretty hot and 0 annealing. That said I thought the alpha brass definitely took higher charges alot better like for like than Peterson did

Only reason to go srp is if that’s all you got. Or your only shooting in warmer temps.

Alpha is more consistent than Peterson ime. Peterson isn’t bad either though. Alpha case heads are hard as shit and can take some firing before pushing pressure. The web area just dosnt grow like lapua or Peterson does to grab the chamber. That’s my experience with them.

If I were buying again I’d get whatever LRP brass was the cheapest between the two.

What about the Gunwerks brass? Supposedly it is made by ADG. Anyone tried it?

Works great in my 6 creed. But it comes in a bag and about 20% had pretty dinged up/crushed necks. I did get 106 pieces in a 100 pack

Reloads with 88ELDm in Tikka 18” factory 22-250 barrel rechambered to 22 Creed, I’m getting ~2950 fps. Haven’t shot factory stuff out of it yet.

Same here. Rechambered tikka barrel with 88's and N560

Thanks for the responses. @FB Trout , what powder are you using?

 

[khuber84]

18" Ace 219 bore 7.5tw 4gr lt Palma on an igniter, Hnt26 chassis, DD Wolfhunter

43.0gr N555 with 88s 45k off lands, cci450 alpha srp brass, runs 3100fps. Shoots routinely 5-10 shot groups under 2" at 300y. Some cherry picked 5 shot groups have been 1/3 to 1/4 moa at 300 and 400y. But that's just not every day


Taking it and the 18" 6cm to hunt elk in a week. Gonna dope everything out to 1k yards Sunday at my friend's range. Gonna verify 88 eldm, 109 eldm, 112 match burners to 1k yards from sub 10# hunting guns.

I’m using H4350 in Alpha LRP brass.

 

[khuber84]

Keep us posted!

For sure. I've killed several deer/antelope with the 75eldm at 3250 and they all died very quickly. I have no doubt the 88s will do the trick on a larger deer species.

Thanks!

You bet.

I’m not sure on what to load when my 22cm shows up, only a few more weeks. 17” barrel 1-8 twist. 77tmk or 80eldx? I have a bunch of h1000 I’d like to burn up.

Both those are pretty light to burn H1000, as is the short barrel. H4350/RL16 will be you're best bet.
