The 22UM

[TradLife406]

That's funny, I was actually asking ai about the 22 saw the other day.
Wondering how it compares in a 16" barrel to a creedy.

From what I can find the 22 saw is supposed to be 50 to 100 fps faster.

Might get a few more fps, their 25 saw gets 50-75 over 25 creed but that would diminish as you go more overbore
Could be a fun cartridge now that the 22 cm is mainstream

@Formidilosus has there been any forward progress on this? Possibly landed on a new parent cartridge to try out?

Not really. I will try a straight 22UM or 22UM-30° next, probably along with a 22-06 or AI version. The real issue is optimum bullets. The 88gr ELD-M is finicky enough that depending on it isn’t the way. A 90gr or 95gr SMK with nose ring may work. The is also a potentially new bullet going to be about this year. Right now, I would still choose the 77gr TMK.

A 22-06AI would be very cool to see. I've got a big pile of 30-06 brass that I've been thinking about getting a 25-06AI to load for, but would love to see what happens with 22-06AI.

I think, it will work out better than most options for that powder volume.
