[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 2795037, member: 113278"] I’ve had a few 22 creeds and 6 creeds. If you’re looking to send 60 grain bullets in the 22 a 7 twist will shred them within feet of the muzzle unless you run copper mono’s I still have a 7 twist barrel and sold one they really shine with 85.5-95 cup&cores. I still have 2 22 creeds wearing 8 twist and have shot 85.5 down to 69 grain cup&core bullets and have had no issues up to primer popping pressures with Peterson brass. My 6 creeds had 8&7.5 C/F twists. The 8 twist liked 95 SMK’s for tack driving it was picky with bullets tho, (Remage prefit carbon six) my current 6 has 7.5 twist proof. It shoots everything from 64 grain Berger column bullets up to 105 VLD’s fantastic. If I took the time on every bullet in between I know it would be a bugholer with everything it was fed. Rest assured that you’re going to run into serious problems trying to figure out which one you like better!!!! In my area there’s no discernible difference out to our 300 yard on game shots to favor one over the other. My 6 creed did impress me at 500 yards on steel with a couple 1” groups but I never took 22 creeds plate punching either. Good luck!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
