The 22 creedmoor thread

And I’ll buy your takeoff 22-250 barrel

If another rifle shows up or another gun purchase I'll be in trouble
The 223 trainer escalated quickly.

I did get a preferred barrel coming in prison pink for the 22 Creed. The girls will love it Another 16".

Anyone using a 1-6 twist? Decided to give it a try to see if it'd help the 88's shoot better.

6tw for 22cm? Absolutely unnecessary unless shooting long solids.

Agreed, 6 twist is going to be rough unless shooting solids. Going to see some serious RPMs.

1:6” twist? For 88’s? You’ll spin them apart unless you’re running really slow velocity.

Now if you go shorter, like 12” barrel I think you’d be g2g!!

Haha. 1-7” twists spin 88’s apart. 1-6” is going to be a problem most likely.

At 360000-384000 rpm they’ll never make it to the target.

Better off going to a 1-8 or just keep using a 1-7?

1-7” twists spin 88’s apart.

Wow -- that's good to know. Sound like 1:7.5" might be the best recipe for .224 barrels.

1-7.5” is optimum.

Not all 1-7” twists make 88’s fail- just that it isn’t uncommon.

Donned the waders and hunted my favorite spot in a swamp this morning. This guy snuck up on me and caught a 77 TMK to the face at 12 feet. Destroyed him. I then proceeded to see 118 deer in 4 hours and not a single shooter buck lol.
