The 22 creedmoor thread

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.

Looks like it’s official https://www.texasammunition.com/product-p/r-hdy-22c-69-eld-vt.htm

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?

 

[Nine Banger]

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?

10 round group at 100 was .96 and the next was 1.43. 20 rounds averaged 2753 out of my 16” PBB w/the mead 85bthp. Only 70 rounds on the barrel. Hoping I can get the 88’s to go another 150-200fps faster with hand loads. My 20” 22CM is going 3140.

Using the reticle the 8 rounds in the videos were right at 1 1/4 moa.

So it might be worth picking some up?

 

[waspocrew]

Apparently the new Hornady ammo is going ~ 3550 (24” barrel).

I think so. Good brass and so far the 85’s are shooting pretty good out of my barrel. The 77’s aren’t shooting as well out of my barrel as the 85’s. Hoping to test both tonight in my dad’s gun.

 

[waspocrew]

Yes

Here’s four 5 shot groups with the 85 gr flavor. 1” white squares at 100 yards. This was the first 20 rounds down a new Proof prefit.

Same here. 77s not as tight as the 85s.

85s are oos unfortunately

Yep they sent 10 boxes my way. I’ll shoot it when I’m back from business travel.

Weird. Showing in stock for me. Added 4 boxes to my cart and went to check out without any issue or error message.

Got home from lunch today and started reading thread from the beginning. Didn’t learn that much lol.

I am in possession of 200 pcs of Peterson SRP brass, 500 77gr TMKs, 4,000 CCI 450s, and lots of powders but notably, a lot of Varget. Going to try it in my 16.5” first. Temp stability will be more important to me than top speed, tho I do kinda wish I had went with LRP brass after reading the thread.
