22 Creedmoor

[EQUADIF68]

Dear All,

I'd appreciate quite a lot some return of experience from hunters and shooters using the above (new) caliber

Many thanks in advance to all of you.

Kind regards,

EQUADIF68

whats new about .22?

 

[EQUADIF68]

Performance of the 22 Creedmoor allows to shoot 70 grains bullets and more allowing speed AND energy at 300 meters and +++ . (roughly 1600 to 2000 Joule at 300 meters - quite ok for lots of species).
That'on paper - the reality can be quite different, so the return of experiences can be quite interesting

My pal is having good results with 85g Berger hybrids ou of his , i might have one if they they get a no neck turn reamer to use factory 22 creed brass

Sort of a putting new strings on an old guitar.

Nothing new about having a high powered 22CF and mating it with high BC bullets.
Although i haven't had this cal before - I have done, similar with the tight twist 22.250 and had great results. This fired a 75grn Amax at over 3300fps. I currently shoot a 22BR with 69Grn TMks at 3320 fps (same sort of idea)

I can imagine that the 22CM will give more velocity, therefore will be flatter , better in the wind and have more impact energy.
I guess its whether you feel the extra work required and the short barrel life is worth it. It will certainly will be an interesting cal and i would not want to be a fox living on your patch ( or mine for that matter )

not only foxes, and roes, but also boars, hinds, reds and many more !!!!!!!!!!
That's the point

 

[sir-slots-alot]

A 22 CF seems an odd choice if those are on the menu

 

[EQUADIF68]

That's the reason why I'm asking some returns of experiences ...

 

[LEADSLINGER]

You can push 75gr eld at 3500fps. Any faster and you'll run into issues. I have a 22x47 shooting 77tmks at 3450. For a work rifle its perfect

 

[308tikka]

can it do things a 22-250 cant? What is the comparison on barrel life,are the costs of running it (including barrel-a consumable), and factory ammo?

UK members are unlikely to provide any feedback on use of 22Creedmoor on Boar and Red deer.

Local legalities aside, a very fast moving, light, frangible bullet wouldn't be my choice for those species.

I Think the .22 middlestead would be very, very close to this cartridge. Might be worth running a search using this instead?

Absolutely out of question to use any kind of conventional or frangible bullet.
I do have monometallic 70 grain for this specific use

The issue is that the protrusion with the 22 250 is not that good and convenient compared to the 22 CM - that's the issue and the Valkyrie is ok from this point of view but doesn't allow to push as the 22CM does.

There is lots on this cartridge on USA forum's such as sniper's hide. twist it at least 1-9 and run 69 TMK and you have it all velocity less drift in the wind and FLAT trajectory.
If I build another rife this is exactly what I want. With light projectle's say in the 55 grn range you can kick the 220 swift in the backside. With Barnes TTSX around 62 grn or up
I would happily take Mule Deer with no worries.

This might thread might be of interest to you.... .22x284 build

.22 Sheiße Sturm, that's a hell of a name for a cartridge!

 

[EQUADIF68]

@flatliner : the thread you've mentioned is interesting ... one key point is that most probably the 22 CM will become something like a standard in the near future. That means the "almost unknown" other calibers are not interesting to consider (availability of commodity components, brass, rifles and so on).
The tricky point so far is to get a barrel chambered in 22 CM ...

Been nearly 2 years..... did you manage to get a barrel chambered in .22CM? I'm going to do the same, if I can find brass.

 

[EQUADIF68]

The situation so far is that the 22CM is not CIP listed yet ...
