The 22 creedmoor thread

So in your rifle, it sounds like the shiny ejector swipe is an unreliable tell for pressure.

I would stick with book loads only if it was me. With your setup the brass won’t reliably be able to tell how close to pressure we are until well above reasonable limits.

Good luck on your search for the speed powder.
Have any Staball65?

Good to know. I don’t have any Staball6.5 but I might pick some up.

Might try some XBR.

What have you been referencing for load data? I’m happy to share what I have

Hornady, Hodgdon… some other random ones.

XBR 8208 with heavies in a 22 Creed?

 

[Castle Rock]

Nah, too fast burning

 

[270-300]

Watch the h4350. Lots of people report it burning barrels faster than other powders.

Im a RL and Ram Shot guy. Bot have very consistent powders with calm burns that helped me to really tune recoil.

 

[HuntHarder]

N560 has been my highest fps, 4831sc has been most accurate.

 

[waspocrew]

RL-23 and RL-26 have been my go to powders for the 22 Creed for a while now.

Billings, MT Scheels had RL-23 on the shelves when I was in there yesterday.

XBR 8208 with heavies in a 22 Creed?

Not recommended? This is my first rifle I’ve reloaded for, so just searching for a faster powder.

I will say… both the H4350 and H1000 shot really accurately.

It’s too fast.

XBR is not listed for the 22 Creed by Hornady, Sierra, or Hodgdon.

Here are some suitable choices:

It's definitely too fast, by a lot. Within the Hodgdon lineup one of the H4831's would be worth trying, I wouldn't bother with anything faster than H4350.
