[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 2242755, member: 110890"] The 22 Creed with 70 or 73 gr Hammer Hunters (depending on your twist) will get the job done nicely in a rig that will give you fast follow-ups with minimal recoil. Those Hammers leverage a cartridge to another level and are simply devastating terminally. Run them fast and you will be ahead of many bigger cartridges running conventionals. Based on your list, I would select whichever rifle has the preferred platform and handling characteristics you prefer and focus on loading a suitable bullet for the purpose. They will all get the job done, but some of the bigger ones might be a little much if you expect a lot of shooting. All things equal, I would choose between the two Creed's from your list in the OP. Fast Hammers would be lethal in either. [/QUOTE]
