The 22 creedmoor thread

[The Guide]

What do you mean by less violent? In general, the Xs create a more lemon or football shaped wound versus the Ms with a much more round wound and in some cases a more narrow wound (they can be more inconsistent depending on the medium they hit).

The X wound channels generally are more like TMK wounds versus ELDM wounds.

I was teasing. Anything hitting bone (neck/spine) at +2800 fps impact velocity is going to be violent. The 80 ELDM did just what I hoped they would, laser beam trajectory to ~250 yards and easy to remain on target after firing. I've got around 60 rounds down the barrel so far and I'm extremely happy with my $600 Ruger American 22CM. Once I have 100 rounds through the pipe, I'll check my velocity again and see if the 80 ELDX ammo has sped up and how the groups compair to when it was brand new.
