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.

With the 88 being finicky, it sure seems in my opinion that the juice might not be worth the squeeze on a 22 hot rod. Couldn't a guy just shoot the 6mm 95 TMK and be just as well off? Same BC as the 80 gr hornady, better than the 77. That was partly my reason for switching back to the 6 creed barrel at the end of this season. 88 was too finicky in the 22 creed, 95 TMK in the 6 creed was easy and was real close ballistically to the 80 or better than the 77.
