So is barrel burn rate the same with the 22CM and the 6CM or will they burn out at different rates. Wanting to shoot coyotes mainly. I have a 6.5CM now, how does it compare in barrel burn rate and why if they are different?
I have heard from multiple users that the 22 creed and the 77 grain Sierra tipped matchking are a match made in long range coyote hunting heaven.You already have a 6.5 I'd drop down to the 22creed. Perfect for coyotes minimal recoil. Like stated above there are a lot of variables but all things equal the 6 will last longer but they are so close I wouldn't let it affect your decision. If shooting mainly coyotes your barrel will last a long time. Ppl are overly concerned with burning bbls out.
I would assume somewhere around 1000 in the 6mm creed and probably 800 in the 22 creed. I think most people who shoot competitively get 1000 with the 6. That's why some people transitioned to the 6gt, better barrel life.Dmagna, your barrel is only good for 1000 rounds?
I'm a hunter so match accuracy is not primary--but I hope I get like 1500 to 2000 rounds out of my 22 creed--I had a friend of mine get 1850 out of a 22-250 without much issue...800 seems pretty low...but to each their own. I guess I'll see I'm just under 300 with mine and it's been 4 years since I built it--guess I'll report in in 8 or so years.I would assume somewhere around 1000 in the 6mm creed and probably 800 in the 22 creed.
