[Shotafterdark]

Who says a 62 gr eld vt won't hold up beyond 3300 fps ????

Huh .
I was just launching them at over 3800
No issues in a 7 twist .

How did they group?

How did they group?

I was just testing velocity capabilities and not shooting for groups ... just aiming and shooting trying to get chrony to read.

I got them to 3800 on a Garmin Xero too but groups were a mess.

Sierra says to keep the 62 eldvt's under 300K

I just graphed my 22 Creed with RL-17 and 75 ELD-M's at 3520, 20 FPS over what the Hornady load data said would be. It is certainly fun to shoot.

I'd buy a .22 Creed for using, either, the 75 gr. ELD-M's or 69 gr. TMK's for, Yotes in, the 3,400 /3,500 fps Range.
and Load #2, would Be, a 55 Blitz King or 53 V-Max at,. 3,550 to 3,600 fps for, Sage Rats.
The lower Velocity, Keeps the Barrel "Movement" to, a BARE Minimum, to SEE,.. the "Splodies' on, a Braked, 8 Pound, walking Varm'nt Rifle.
The .22 Creed. IS just, Better Brass / Better design ( and NO, Trimming ) over, a .22-250 rem.,.. to Me !
I Know that, "Down Loading" at, a Lower velocity, is Blasphemy to some here, tho and,.. IDK

 

[Idaho-Lefty]

FAST Twists and Heavy for Caliber, Bullets,.. ARE "Hard" on,.. .22-250's, Ai's, 220 Swift's and, .22 Creed.. Barrels,..
Use at your Own Risk to, your Bank Account ( FACT ! ).
Barrel's are, "Consumables" at,.. a "Cost"

What is your barrel length?

If you don't mind me asking where were you on powder charge with RL 17 and did you see any pressure signs at where you were at?

 

[capitol]

The only downside to the 22CM is barrel life. Just means you buy more barrels

My barrel supplier stays happy....

41.6 RL -17 Velocity was 3520 No pressure signs. Hornady lists that load at 3500.

46.1 RL -17 Velocity was 3520 No pressure signs. Hornady lists that load at 3500.

Thank you Sir, you certainly have my interest in a 22 creedmoor that's for sure.

 

[6MMWASP]

Thank you Sir, you certainly have my interest in a 22 creedmoor that's for sure.

I have a 22 Creed and a 22-250 AI. They shoot nearly identical velocities with identical charges of RL-17, 3200 + or-. 7 deer and antelope so far and none of them have taken a step with 88 ELD-M's 88 yards to 370. I'm a fan.

17.5” 22 creed 1:10 brux barrel nosler 62gr varmagedons 3550 with h4350. These bullets are devastating on anything they hit. This rifle has taken many whitetail and dropped them in their tracks. Even if barrel life is 1200 rounds in hunting conditions that’s allot of game.

 

[209jones]

It's always tempting to shoot a fast ctge like the Swift or 22-250 or 22Creed, maybe consider how many longer than 300yd + zone shots you really take, or have declined on because of wind or whatever with a 22cal. Is it really worth it? If you are serious about the long shots, a .243/6mm is way more practical. Not like hides are worth squat these days.

 

[Maximus1840]

My 22 CM is 26", 1:7 Twist and .219 bore. It has 650 rounds through it all were over 300k rpm with zero bullet blow ups. FWIW I attribute that to the .219 bore size.

 

[Breakshunter]

I have made several shots this year with my 22 Creedmoor that were just not possible with my 204 and 22-250 1-14 twist. I use 80.5 Bergers at 3400 fps. It is deadly to 1000 plus if I can get a range and they stop. I’ve shot 12 as of today and my longests are 780, 630, 584 and 404. It is a game changer.

If you don't mind me asking what is your barrel length and what powder are you using to get velocities like that?
Thank you Sir?

 

[mic2377]

If you can get your hands on some RL26, velocities in that range are achievable. These will be high pressure with other powders though.
