22 Creedmoor, which bullet for tack driving accuracy, for Fox shooting.

[Hobbs]

Hobbs, I don't have creedmoor but do have an 8 twist 22-250. I run 69 gr. Sierra HPBT with H380.
If you like groups without paper between shots try that combo in your Creedmoor. Adjust powder charge accordingly for the bigger case.

That's the type of groups I always look for. Nice shooting

Unfortunately H380 isn't REACH compliant so it's not available here in the UK, but the TMK's are

Hobbs, Like I said I don't have Creedmoor but I do have 35 years experience with the 22-250. I have found regardless of barrel twist, I always got benchrest accuracy keeping loads at around 50k psi and not running at max pressure. This may translate to the Creedmoor too, so it's just another data point in your search.
Another great powder that was recommended to me by Shilen rifle barrels was Reloader 15. Is that available in the UK?

Yes, RL 15 is available.
Like you, I'm not looking at pushing maximum pressure and maximum velocity. What I want is maximum accuracy
Not point having top end velocity if the bullet isn't hitting the same place each time
Many thanks for your input, much appreciated

I shoot 85.5 gr Berger bullets in my 22 Creedmoor and it's a ragged hole all day. I shot H4350 and it just plan shoots great. I have shot 1000's of Fox over the last 55 yrs and it doesn't take much to knock them down. But when you skin them out and you see the body size. I can see how people miss them.
My barrel is a 1 - 7 twist.

Good luck with the build, get a good barrel and go from there.

When I first got bit by the "varmint/predator hunting bug" back in the early 1980s, I read a book by the Burnham brothers. I believe Murry said something to the effect of "There's a lot of air around a fox".
