The 22xc Thread

[urbanrifleman]

This will be the official place I drop all the 22xc testing.

I have my SRP Peterson brass from Tubb and I resized it using a standard 6xc bushing die. I used a 248 bushing and a 224 expander ball. One sizing. Pulled the handle twice per case. The second pull greatly improved the uniformity from top to bottom.

Case necks measure .2515 od top to bottom. Very impressive consistancy really. These are ready to shoot a match as far as I can tell.

I'm having a hard time getting anyone excited but I'm trying!!

It's a cool project and I applaud your effort but with it being so similar to the VERY popular and more standardized 22 and 6mm Creedmoor I'm afraid you may struggle to gain much "want" for this. I'm sure you'll have a lot of tire kickers but only time will tell if those lookers turn in to actual purchasers.

Probably. But I think this has some advantages.

I would think the 22xc is actually super easy. I think it is all about the brass. 6xc from Tubb is cheap and one resizing and you are GTG.

I have sold two barrels so far.

Do you plan to use some heavy bullets like 80-90g? What kind of shooting and distance are you shooting this 22XC at? PRS?

Yes will be testing the 88 eldm

 

[urbanrifleman]

Shot more 69 Sierra's. 38.2 grains of R16 is a very mild load and it was 3330 fps.

Testing the 75 ELDM today.

 

[AckleymanII]

Looking forward to seeing the results of the 75's! Should HAMMER coyotes and Chucks at some distance!

Running all the way up to 40 grains of r16. I will be interested to see if it hits pressure.

 

[AckleymanII]

I always like to "FIND" pressure because the accuracy node is REAL close!

Everyone would like to see the Lab Radar screen on the accuracy node....coyotes and chucks look out!!!

Bradley, a 60g V max would be Hell on Wheels in the 22 XC on a coyote and Chuck....would smoke crows!

22xc 75 Hornady eldm

 

[Idaho-Lefty]

Bradley,...
Whats the Optimal Twist for those, 75's ?
Can a 1-9 Twist ,. "Handle" them ?
Asking for, a Friend

 

[B23]

A 9tw will likely shoot them ok but unless you're shooting them at around 5,000ft elevation you won't get the full BC of the bullet. Not ELD-M's but I've shot lots of Berger 75gr VLD's from a 22-6mm with a 9tw Lilja and though a 8tw would be more optimal that 9tw still shoots them extremely well.

 

[urbanrifleman]

This is 75 eldm with r16.

Conditions were really tough. The bottom row was the only row that was not awful switching winds.

It calmed down right before the storm. I believe the bottom row is more of an of how they shot.

 

[urbanrifleman]

Bottom row. Same node as the Sierra 69. Right about 38-38.5 at 3330 fps.

There was another node at 39.5 but 40 was feeling like pressure. Primers had nipples and the case was harder to eject.

Bullets were at 20 thou jam.
