[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1463010, member: 11132"] Awesome shooting by your Dad with the 22 and you with creed. Those 95 SMK are a real game changer when it comes to hitting targets at LR. Its interesting that the bullet fragmented so violently in the water at that distance. What was the estimated impact vel? 1300-1400? Not sure your elevation where you were shooting but along with the vel may have had them fully stable even with the 7.5 twist. Do you know how well that load was grouping for him at closer distances? Did you/he compute a G7 for the 95 based on drop and environmental's? My guess is around .300 G7 Does he plan to do any hunting with it or just for target? If that bullet actually works, like it did on the jug, it might make a nice LR varmint combo Based on the talk of FTR shooters it might very well have people using the .223 at the 1K line more. Presently the 308s 200 and 210 Bergers rule @ 1K but it seems with a long throat and 31-32" barrel they will be shooting the same as the 90s are from 30". ISSF reamer throat has to be doubled IIRC for this bullet to work compared to the 90 Berger. Very long body on this bullet. I know of a few that are throating their chambers specifically for ideal seating this bullet. One great thing is it does seem to be capable of very good accuracy without terrible amount of workup. I would not be surprised to see a 22-250AI/22 Creed in a PRS match or two with this bullet. That and it could give a renewed interest in the WSSM that might be collecting dust. I am ordering a barrel from Bartlien with gain twist ending at 6.5 to get the max BC as I am close to sea level a lot. Choose the gain twist as I do not want to have issue tearing up these bullets pushing them hard with a straight 6.5. I now they addressed the issue with these they had with the 90 SMKs and I figure they had to expect these to be used in the overbore .224 but still want to be sure and it may help as the barrel wears.. May adjust that if Applied Ballistics can get us some hard number for spin for full BC value. [/QUOTE]
