The 22 Creedmoor

[rifleman762]

nice build, thanks for taking us along for the ride! Have you tried any other powders with the 88gr?

No, I only have H1000, H4350, H4895, and IMR 4198. Those powders seem to give decent accuracy and velocity in every cartridge I load. Trying to keep it simple . I could use H1000 but I'm happy with the H4350 velocity.

I see ADG lists 22cm brass now (large rifle pocket) - I ordered up a hundred pieces. Probably squirrel them away for the next barrel

I'm planning to make another 22 CM because they are just so much fun to shoot! This time it will be a 20" 1:9 twist 223 barrel rechambered to 22 CM. It's a Savage Lady Hunter for my wife. It should stabilize a 73gr ELD-M at 3300 fps or higher. Jerry, that's why I emailed you about a .473" Savage bolt head .

Appreciate the enquiry but factory parts have been tough to source. Sounds like a great option but review all your costs vs a prefit to a similar spec (or better)

The 223 is a very nice barrel to have. I keep a 223 rifle for practise and spare barrel cause this chamber gets shot alot.... a 8 or 7 twist just makes better use of the 22CM potential... Mine are all 7 twists and I have enjoyed putting hits on target towards 1500yds.

Let me know if you want to pursue. Thanks

update, the 80.5gr Bergers shooting very well over Vihtavuori N560 @ 3300 fps

checked trajectory today for the 80.5gr Berger (3356 fps) at 525 & 735 yards. Pretty pleased with the results!​

That’s a stone cold dog zapper if I ever saw one

Hey TB- Did I miss the moose kill pics this year?

I need a draw! But the 22 Creed will be the one to grab when that happens

Africa is calling you and the Creedmoor. You won’t need a draw.

Ummm...no expert. You don't think that's a touch diminutive for Africa though? Going to Africa to shoot small game seems counter-intuitive to me...but have fun I suppose.

Someone must have shot a buffalo with a creedmoor by now?

Stumbled on a good load this morning in the Model 70. 69gr Sierra Tipped Matchking over 48.3grs RL26, 3726 fps average. Maybe the smallest group I have ever shot

Hey TB, what stock is that on your M70?

Never been, but they say Cape Buff is pretty badass. Aggravating it with a 22 doesnt seem like the best course of action... but be sure to post pics.

Awesome! I hope you get a draw in 2021. Nice job sharing the story of this rifle.

Trailboss is the most under rated powder on the market.

I've been singing its praises for the past 5 or 6 years. Can used for a variety of cartridges, and often with excellent results.

Thanks, I really like the pistol grip angle on it. I've been wanting to replace the B&C on my EW, mostly because I do not like the angle on it. I wonder if your Game Scout is lighter of heavier then the B&C?
