I have been reading quite a bit on the 22 Creedmoor and once my current 22-250ai is toast I’m going to give one a try.

I’m dumbfounded however on the stupidity and idiocy of what people are loading these things to online.

Guys, I think we can all work together to try educate newer reloaders on wildcat cartridges and in doing so hopefully save an eye, finger or life of someone who doesn’t understand what a “max charge” is.

A Facebook group dedicated to the topic of 22 Creedmoor information had a number of guys that have worked loads to 3600fps with an 80 grain bullet.

Referencing the Peterson Cartridge company’s article on pressure and the 22 Creedmoor a 3600fps load with and 80 grain bullet should be in the high 80k pressure range if not low 90k.

But it’s always “safe in my rifle”.

Try to educate when you can to those who will listen.

There are many people that shouldn't be reloading. Many people on this website are always trying to get maximum fps which accomplishes nothing. Seems like an ego macho problem. Small groups are all that matters. 45 years of reloading never had a blown primer, loose primer pocket or case separation. Adding 100 fps never made a better varmint rifle.

I’ll shoot an accurate slower node anytime, and save my brass life. I see some guys doing stupid stuff all the time. Darwin rules.

This sums it up perfectly.
Well stated.

I overhear discussions, from our gun club members, on a regular basis that simply make me cringe.

I agree with you whole heartedly, but I’m pretty sure the benchrest guys know that pushing their PPC to a certain point helps them to the winners stage.

I RSO at a public 1000 yard range. Over hearing (or just flat out bragging to the RSO) things scares the crap out of me.

Reloading 101 - Adhere to published and tested data from reliable sources, i.e., Sierra, Nosler, Hornady, Lyman, etc.

Reloading 102 - Adhere to the practice of safely working up loads and know how to read pressure signs.

Let me derail the thread…tomatoes picked green. I recall that when messing with tomato genetics, and associated qualities, one of the criteria at the forefront was the fruit being able to withstand impact at a specific number of miles per hour. Flavor was not the #1 desired attribute. Sad but true…

The joke is quite funny though.

Absolutely…never trust someone else’s handloads, and use the published data as you said.

I keep thinking about the guy that asked about annealing bullets. To many dysfunctional people in our country. No common sense.

My 80.5 bergers are 3540.at 3600 I only get 2 reloads before the primer pockets are loose. Can I go to a small rifle primer pockets ( petersons srp) maybe therer would be more meet to prevent all the stretching?

The only thing that can expand primer pockets is pressure. You are border line on pressure.
