The 22 creedmoor thread

Oh yeah.

Toast I bet.

112 MB too?

88 ELD is old news?

88 ELD might take the award for the most inconsistent bullet ever made.

How does the current 90gr smk shoot? I might want to get a jump on load development.

Might hurt the DTAC nose ring sales a little

That DTAC seems desirable from a toughness/penetration depth standpoint at high velocity. Not sure the new big TMK will match it in that regard?

Sounds like the 115-117 is going to be a long bearing length, modest BC bullet so a 112 MB would still be more desirable from an external ballistic standpoint.

It will hurt sales for the other bullets until the TMKs are out of stock for two years
In all seriousness, the new TMK lineup is largely a result of demand from Rokslide and like-minded individuals influenced by all of the information here. Hopefully their willingness to make cool stuff that we actually want will go hand in hand with keeping things in stock.

3 choices now for 6mm TMK and 88s.

Good times ahead.

I might see a reason to keep the 7PRC barrel too.

What’s the lightest total gun weight anyone is hunting with, and finding it easy to stay in the scope with the 22creed? Suppressed of course.

New to the group. 22 creed is something I’m thinking of building. Love this thread!

My 22 creed (16" barrel, 88 eldm) added some more kills to the resume in the last few weeks:
-Whitetail buck, 200 yards broadside through ribs. Ran about 20 yards and crashed. Quarter sized exit and excellent blood trail.
-Whitetail doe, 272 yards. Same story as above.
-Whitetail doe, 311 yards. High ribs. Bang flop, looks like the underside of spine caught some shrapnel. Exit.
-Whitetail doe, 464 yards. Broadside and shot through front shoulder. Bang flop. Golf ball sized exit, both shoulders completely destroyed. Bone fragments everywhere. Scrapped both shoulders.

No photos this time, but they all start to look the same after shooting violent little bullets.

The interesting thing is that after getting very few exits with this bullet on deer earlier, the last 4 have exited. Goes to show why you shouldn't bench something before you get a decent sample size.

Looking back at my posts, 8 deer and 2 elk for this barrel so far this year. 50-464 yards. Only one stayed on it's feet long enough to get another shot. None made it more than 50 yards. I haven't noticed any 88 eldms yet that seemed marginal in internal tissue damage. Coyotes are generally bang-flop. Might add a few more deer yet this year.
