22 Creedmoor load data

[wboggs]

Can anyone loading this caliber share their experience regarding the best powders and results?
I am thinking seriously about building one.
Thanks
Bill

H4350 here, fantastic results.

Thanks

I think Greg w/Primal Rights had good success and was pretty happy with his 22CM.

Will also say H4350 has worked well for me too. Peterson Brass has a good article about what are safe pressures in the 22 Creedmoor.

Thanks. The Peterson data is very helpful.

Mine was just finished a couple of weeks ago. Trying H4350, 80gr JLK VLDs. A mild load of 38.2 gr is showing promise.

Loaded mine with 77 CC over N555. Little slower than 4350 but works very close. At the time I could find it so bought some to try. Also have some loads with RL17 both work well.

H4350 with 80s and under. R26 with 90-95 grain bullets.
Whatever you don’t use “internet data” with this case.

I've been using 41-42 grains of RL-22 under sierras' 77 gr. TMK for 3500FPS. Also suitable for the 80 grain bullets.

41.0gn H4350, Nosler 77CC, CCI200, Nosler brass, 26" X-Caliber, 3508fps. Have gotten similar results with RL-16.

 

[wboggs]

Thanks to all that have responded

Any data for the 75eld with RL26 in 22” barrel

How was the velocity and charge with the n555

 

[Chris kloster]

RL26 was problematic, h4350 shot well with more stability. 22” proof shoots 90g VLDs in tiny little bug holes at distance

I tried Peterson and Alpha brass but couldn't get good velocities without high pressures. I neck down Starline 6mm CM small primer brass for my 22 CM.
I've only shot 75gr ELD-M's out of mine. With H4350, I'm getting around 3500 fps with a 20" barrel & suppressor.
I tried RL 26, but didn't have good results with a short barrel.

Do you know the case capacity of the different cases?
Or do you think Starline brass is harder/tougher?

Would like to get your take on why you were getting pressures with Alpha/Peterson brass, because I would almost certainly want to use one of these premium brands for my projected 22CM build. I thought most people were saying the Alpha brass was of Lapua quality, which I always found could withstand high pressures over many firings without loosing the primer pockets...

And I'd lean for small primer pockets based on their reported improvement to the SD and resistance to primer pockets expanding.

Because the cases are thicker than the Starline that I'm using and have less capacity. I've also tried Peterson brass in one of my 6.5 CM's that I only use Lapua SRP brass with, and I can't get near the same velocity or powder charge with the Peterson brass.
Alpha and Peterson make great brass, but I can't get close to the same performance that get with Lapua or Starline in my rifles.
