The 22 creedmoor thread

[Feral Jared]

I started my own thread, but figured I’d jump in here since I’m starting my way through this archive. I built this custom Axis up in a wildcat cartridge I designed. It’s a standard short action, and I wanted something new so I’ve decided to go with a 16.5 inch 5r8 Xcaliber blank being turned by a friend.

I used to clean my rifles after every couple hundred rounds. Then Form showed me the light.
Just clean the action and chamber.

I've been a proponent of not cleaning for a long time, but I did have a 6.5x284 that liked to develop carbon rings.

Never an issue with 223, 6.5 grendel, creed or 308. Overbore seems to bring it on. Will see with these 22cm barrels though, so far so good.
