I don’t think it is

The ones I've handled are not, nether is the one in hand at the moment.

I did when doing some load development. Only had it happen with H4350.

Same, only with h4350.

Those are noticeable hang fires. I also don’t want to increase lock time that’s unnoticeable.

I have seen hang fires with 6 creed as well in srp brass.

With the better availability of large rifle primers is there any reason not to just use those?

I know a year ago or more smalls were definitely easier to find.

In a 22 creedmoor in premium brass? Absolutely not. Large rifle primers are normally thicker and seem to be even more resistant to primer flow than any small rifle primers if used.

No reason at all not to use it unless you buy into the idea that SRP’s are or can be more accurate or can handle more pressure. This is a field rifle, go for what’s going to go bang every time.

I love my Creedmoor but the 100 ELDVT out of 6.5 prc at 3500 is nasty lol. I got some 69 ELDVTs for my 22 Creedmoor that I wanna try.

Back in the day I chopped a couple in half with my 300 Ultra and 130gr NBT going Mach Chicken. Those ones needed a roll of thread AND spare hide.

If you want to load it hot AF and get 10+ firings SRP is nice. I've gone LRP on my creedmoors. Factory Berger 6 creed ammo with SRP gave me hang fires. I've also heard some powder/primer guru on they had on the hornady podcast mention that lots of times there are slight hangfires that happen so fast they aren't even detectable most of the time. Easy enough to find LRP and build some buffer in the ignition function.

I've probably mentioned it here before, but this was my experience. SRP (regardless of powder and air temp) gave me hangfires in 22CM. Depending on the burn rate of the powder they ranged from glaringly obvious hangfires to just barely perceptible ones, but hangfires all the same.

LRP brass is the way to go.

Looks like 88gr Sierra TMK was just announced. (Along with several others)

Too soon to ask if you’ve killed anything with them yet?
