22 creadmore verse 224 clark

thoughts on this for a long range ground hog round .what would you choose

 

[C.E.Smith043]

I'm not a creedmoor fanboy but I would pick the 22 Creedmoor solely because of the brass availability and popularity of the round.

Not that It can do anything the Clark can't, just solely based on brass availability

Agree.. I'd go with a 22-250 ackley before I put a creed in my hands..

If you want speed in a .22 wildcat, a straight 22-243 is crazy simple and pretty quick…and lots of good brass choices too.

If it was my choice I’d go with a 6 SLR. Another easy to form wildcat but better barrel life and better bullet choices…

FWIW,

22-243 is nice but it falls along lines of over bore. unless you pushing heavy bullets through it.

Are you stuck on those two choices?
The 22 Creed is getting out dated. LOL. Better choices now.
22 Dasher
22 BR, BRA
22 GT
Others that will get you the speed and maybe a bit more barrel life.
The 6mm's with get it done with light bullets and a bit more barrel life.

If you want one of those two, then go for it. Then you can say you did it.
Been there done that. Learned a lot. I will never go back to the 22 Creed myself.

But between those 2, the 22 Creed would be the easy button.
Good brass and info on loads.

I’m building a 22CM now, it will find a place in my rack next to a handful of 22-250s and Swifts. It’s near the top of useable case capacity and top quality cases are available, no fire forming necessary.
