New 22 Creedmoor build

[Ranger188]

Did you build this as a varmint rifle or just to have fun?

Still doing load development on other rifles.
Have not had it to the 500 yard range yet.
Here is a "test load" target at 200 yards.

What load is that?

I built it for a mix of both, but mostly just target shooting and it is extremely fun to shoot. Very low recoil, especially with a suppressor. And extremely accurate.

I am also very impressed with supressed recoil.

Nicccce! Thats gotta make ya feel good.
Stick that target on your car viser .so every time you get up set, you can flip it down and drift away like in the moves.

The 88gn bullets seem to like magnum speed (burnrate) powder, staball hd seemed run consistent.
I too seen pressure signs with 6.5staball pretty early.... almost like pressure spikes.
My very limited 2cents.

@ killing Time,..
I'd be real interested to see, MORE group Testing with, the 73 gr. ELD-M's and some, lower chg's of, StaBall 65 for "best Accuracy",.. Sub,.. 43 grains of, StaBall 65 ( like 41.5 to, 42.9 grs ). ( I'm curious ! )
Also what, Brass / Primers, are you using ?
Thanks in advance !

This is the other groups I shot yesterday before I froze out. These are load development groups just trying to see what the gun likes. The first is a 88 gr ELD-M with 41.0 gr Superformance. Not too bad, especially with how Superformance is not supposed to like it cold. The second is again 88 gr ELD-M with 40.0 gr of StaBall 6.5. This load was a little too hot. I had signs of pressure from this one. And the last one is 73 gr ELD-M with 43.0 gr of StaBall 6.5. No signs of pressure with this one but I may back the charge down a little next time just to see if it tightens up the group. I have several rounds loaded to try with this gun and I'll be glad to show the results if you want. I've got some Bergers loaded that I have high hopes for.

Yup,. I'd Like to See, all / any group's of, 73 grain ELD-M's with, StaBall 65 powder
TIA !
