The 22 creedmoor thread

[TradLife406]

Which company's dies are you using?

Haven't decided yet. Probably Redding Type S match set. Or a Redding Type S sizer with a basic seater. I don't monkey with seating depths enough for a micrometer.

I have the RCBS Matchmaster dies, once my seating depth is set, I don't mess with it either. I love the bullet holder (sleeve) in those dies for seating the longer ELDM type bullets.

The matchmaster seating die is well worth the price. The sleeve holding the projectile is great. I have several of their seating dies now.

I’m just using Hornadys Custom set (non bushing) with the ELDM seating stem.

Cheap Hornady “custom” dies working fine for mem

Would be a great Rokslide thread if someone wanted to try 4-5 different die sets w everything else being the same and post 20-30 round groups.

Same with brass...get down to tacks on that and seating depth too while we're at it...and primers

Oh, and neck turning!

Agreed, I splurged on one of those for my 22CM and it is a joy to use. Speeds up loading batches by a noticeable amount.

Finally got everything assembled for my first 22 Creed. Anxious to get out and see how it does.

Restocked my 22 creed. With the 16" barrel, my first wood stock was a little off balance so we tried this. 28oz with SRS rail, recoil lug and bottom metal. Most importantly, it balances perfectly for a one hand carry.

 

[AndrewMT34]

That’s a beautiful stock. Homemade?

 

[Mountain_Life]

Yes, not by me though. Another member on here. The only thing I'm capable of is scratching and abusing it.

That deserves to be used and abused

I want to change my palmetto state armory 6.5 creedmoor AR-10 to a 22 creedmoor via a barrel change. The barrels from KAK looked like they would be a good option but they haven’t had them in stock for the last few weeks and couldn’t give me a timeframe of when they would get them back in stock. So now I’m considering a custom from deadshot barrel to get a 18” barrel made.

Anyone have experience with either company or advice on whether to wait for KAK to restock or just pull the trigger on getting one from Dead shot barrels?

Here’s another offering available at Texas ammunition. Not sure if it’ll be limited to them or offered at other vendors.

I wonder what bullet that is.

Nice job. I like the modern wood stocks that have been popping up.
