22 creedmoor deer

[Coldfinger]

Looks like a savage? Tell me about your setup. Nice shooting young man.

If you could only hear his excitement in the video clip I caught! Priceless!!!

I'm using a 88 grain ELDs haven't killed anything yet...but sure want to...

You ever kill anything with the 88's?

Yes a few things—2 hogs, 1 axis doe, 1 mouflon… I'm out of ELDs now—have been shooting 80.5 grain bergers as that is what I can put my hands on.

Good deal thanks Ed. I'm planning on testing the 88's as well as the 85.5 berger's this year

Finally got to try 22 creedmoor on a deer. Well my boy gave me the puppdog eyes, and said can I shoot dad (how do you say no). His longest shot yet 178 yards. 85.5 grain Berger hybrid. Speed unknown as I loaded into new Peterson brass and had to back load down 3 grains to get a smooth opening bolt. Was at 3300 with hornady brass. She only made it 50 yards after the shot. And his first heart shot. Bullet entered and started expanding under hide about a nickel sized hole inside rib cage. Quarter sized at heart, 50 cent piece leaving heart, golf ball exiting rib cage and tennis ball smashing leg bone exiting.

Hi Coldfinger. Where did you buy your 22 creedmoor? I'm trying to find one with the folding stock.

Most of the 22 creeds are custom-- Oregon Rifle and a few others offer pre-fits for clones and tikkas.

Horizon down here in Texas has been at the forefront of the cartridge

They can get you fixed up between 2200 and 4,000

Fierce is making one in. A simi-custom package.

I'm seeing more and more pop up from time to time.

 

[L.Kristensen]

Yes, I've looked into them along with fierce but they don't seem to make them with the hinged stock. not the 22 creedmoor caliber

Now that it is SAAMI approved…probably see more streamlined choices.

I tried to send you a private conversation but it won't allow me to for some reason. I've got a few 22 creeds still
