The 22 creedmoor thread

Has ANYONE gotten these damn things to shoot? Or the 80s for that matter?

88s and RL-23 shoot great out of my 1:7.5 Bartlein. They also shoot well out of my 1:8 X Cal.

Yes over multiple platforms, you need to either jamb them or jump them a long way
3 at 1100 yards, seating depth matters a lot despite what some here say, that was my Tikka 223

The 80eldm’s shoot great in my 223,22arc, and 22creed. The arc likes the 88gr factory loads also.

How far are you jumping them?

 

[waspocrew]

Barrel specific I’m sure, but I have the 88s seated at 0.020” off the lands and they shoot very well.

Yes.

I’m not the best shooter by any means, but this was with the 88s:

3 at 330



4 at 500




4 at 800

Not the Creed, but we ran several hundred 80gn ELD-Ms through my sons 223 Rem PRS rifle. They shot fine from his 1/8" twist barrel in the low 2900fps. We swapped to the Berger 80.5s and have stuck with the Bergers as they are definitely more consistent than the 80gn ELD-M on targets. The Bergers just dont seem to produce the occasional fliers we were getting with the ELDs.

88s shoot alright out of mine...

I’ve tried the 88s on 2 different barrels overr 4350 and both grouped at 100 like your 800

I want them to work so badly. You probably mentioned this but what’s the rifle setup?

What’s your barrel twist?

Sometimes a barrel just doesn’t want to shoot a bullet unfortunately.

My 22 Creed is as follows:
Zermatt TL3
Bartlein 1:7.5 twist medium palma at 22”
Triggertech Diamond
Manners PRS2
NF NX8 2.5-20
Gunwerks 8ight suppressor

Been using it as my night hunting rig lately with 62 gr ELDVTs at 3650. Excited to try out some 69 gr bkitzkings here soon.
