The 22 creedmoor thread

I think it'd be a great kid rifle for whitetail around here at minimum. Just a fun shooter for them.

They are a great anyone rifle. I killed 15+ whitetails with it last fall. Total distance traveled between all of them was around 20 yards. That includes 4 nice mature bucks.

100% condition dependent but 500 would be my theoretical self imposed limit in perfect conditions. With my data at my hunting location the TMK should be over 1800fps past 650. I practice out to 1000 every weekend, and shoot multiple competitions every year. This rifle had no issue taking a nice one last October at just over 300 with a 75gr ELDM. Saw him stand out of his bed and put him right back into it.

With a self imposed 500 yard limit, which I also place on myself, you owe it to yourself to try a dasher!

Now that I am reloading it is on the short list for the 6mm minimum states!

Less recoil than a 22 creed, similar to same wind number, stupid easy to load, inherently extremely accurate and consistent, more money saved per bang in both component and barrel life costs. In elk country I’m looking at over 2000fps over 500 yards. Spotting shots with it to those ranges is only bested by 223.

If I could shoot it for nrl hunter I wouldn’t own anything else.

Just make sure to get an alpha chamber, alpha brass and alpha die.

Sorry if I missed it, what bullet are you loading? Same bullet for practice and hunting?

108 eldm. I do have some 105 aeromatch I used for break in that shot awesome too. Plan on 80eldvt or 87vmax for prairie dog and predators.

109eldm is on my list to try along with the 95tmk.

I can’t make either of my dasher barrels shoot bad with varget in them.

Can anyone post a dope card for a 77 TMK doing about 3k?
Trying to compare it to the 80 grain Hornady.

Don't think there's a TMK bullet in 4Dof. Tried entering it manually in there and Shooter.

Just seems to be a pretty significant difference between the two. I know the Hornady has better BC.

Just bored at work lol. Got off social media so the only thing I've got is this and ballistics lol I'm going to have to order one or the other.

Did I understand the Sierra has a lower operating window than 1800?

Are you talking about a 6 Dasher?

 

[Lawnboi]

Are you talking about a 6 Dasher?

Yes
That’s what I have moved to from 22 creed to meet caliber restrictions but also be very low recoil.

 

[mtnbound]

Yes

What’s your load data on a Dasher?

What’s your load data on a Dasher?

31 grains of varget and a 108eld
