New gun build

[remington jim]

22 GT little brother to my 6 GT is on my build list

I will using it for just plinking at steel. I’ve got a private range out to 1000yrds

Need some help on a new gun build and choosing a caliber. So I’ve got a custom 338 on a defiance action, custom 6.5 creedmoor on a defiance action, 6xc on defiance action, 7prc on a defiance and a rimx .22. Now I’ve been looking into the 22gt or 22creedmoor with some interests in those. I reload for all my calibres so I don’t have a problem reloading a new one. Would love for some input?

Care to share some pics of those nice rifles and that awesome range? That's quite a line-up.

Got a 22BR but would really like to play with the 22GT

I never really considered 223ai but that may be an option I should look into. What would you think barrel like out of a 22 creed would be, sub2k?

As much as I like the idea of the .22 Creedmoor I'm not a fan of the barrel life (under 2000 rounds). I would need a new barrel every year shooting prairie dogs on my annual trip to southern Alberta. I'll stick with .223 Winchester.

That's bullet diameter, what's the cartridge? Just curious.

The .22 BR is a great little one... BUT you already have all the 1000 yard plinkers you need... load up and get on with the shooting

I would estimate barrel life to be more like 1100 rounds.

I would estimate barrel life to be more like 1100 rounds.

That's even worse... I would need a barrel change halfway through the week and another at the end of my trip.

Thats a little to hot for me, as the 22GT can see 3000

OP go bye bye. Must be busy on his private 1000 yd range with all those nice rifles. Can't say I blame him.

Sorry just been busy with life lol. I ended up building a 6br off a defiance action.
