22 creedmoor 85.5 bergers

[ridge86]

I'm starting load development on my 22 creedmoor and I'm curious to know where other people have started and what powder worked best? Thanks in advance

 

[Dmagna]

I use RL26 and shoot the 85.5 at 3300

What weight did you start at?

 

[Varmint Hunter]

Not the 22 Creed - but in my 22-243 I run Berger 82gr LR bullets at 3,400 ft/sec with RE23 and RE26. They both shoot very well.

What weight did you start at?

I think I started at 39 or 40. I use alpha ocd 22 creed brass, I have a 1-7 twist and havnt lost a bullet

What is your barrel twist?

 

[ridge86]

I have a 1:8 twist mullerworks barrel.

I have a 1:8 twist mullerworks barrel.

If you can find them I'd look very hard at the 80gr Berger or Sierra as for powder perhaps starting with H4350 or something close to it one or two burns up or down the burn-rate scale. But 4350 might be hard to beat. Good luck. Cheers

Yes sir, I have another 22 creed that likes the 80's and h4350. Was hoping the heavier bullets would work, might just have to go back to the 75&80 gr weight class

Lots of 22 Creed data to pour through here- I know I've seen the 85.5 mentioned a few times.

I know several folks including myself have been playing with the 22 creedmoor for a while now. Please keep this thread to actual reloading information, and if you can please post some round count, barrel life numbers are all over the place. Here is a brief summary of the cartridge. You need to...

6.5 stable might be worth a try it seems to come in stock and not gone in 30seconds, might be worth a try. I have a mullerworks barrel too. It will be a 22-243ai. It's a carbon barrel wrapped by Pederson Precision.

Rl23 works really well and I have been trying 6.5 staball it is shooting really well And it is cleaner then rl23 h4831 works to

H4831sc and 80.5 berger petersons is where I'm at
