22 Creedmoor prairie Dog loads

[Iron Worker]

I've found the loads I'll take to MT Prairie dog fields. 132 rounds down my new rifle. 26" Rem Varmint contour Muller works 8"twist bbl Bat Igniter action McMillian Game Warden 2.0 stock Trigger Tech Special trigger.
Alpha brass 41.0 gr of H4350 75gr ELD average velocity 3537 6.6 SD out of 10 rounds tight groups on a cold, windy day.
Alpha Brass 42.5grs H4350 behind Hornady's new 62gr ELD-VT bullet out of 5 shots average velocity was 3,844 MOA SD of 23.9 43grs out of 5 shots was 3,873 SD of 11.8same MOA accuracy Then I tried some 60gr Nosler BT with 43 grs of H4350 Peterson brass average velocity was 3,880 with SD of 16.3 and then 3 shots of 43grs of H4350 behind a 55grs Nosler varmingeddon for 4,040 FPS with under 1/2 MOA all at 100yds. My rifle doesn't like H1000. I wonder which of today's loads will be the hardest on the barrel. Also, there are zero pressure signs and no hard extractions.

Might wanna order another barrel ahead of time. Probably burn that one off by the end of the shoot.

 

[Seabeeken]

Certainly not my first choice for a PD shoot

I built my 22 Creed last year and shot 75 ELDs @ 3400ish with RL22. I thought it was going to be king, but I found I prefer the 53 Vmax @4000 out of my 22-250ai, for the most part. If I was shooting 600+, the the 75's were superior, but under that, I like the 53's best.
I will be loading mainly 53's in the Creed this year too, only bringing fifty 75's.

Yikes. What's barrel life in something like that?

Well, so far(about 450-500 rounds in), throat erosion is only a few thousands and the fire cracking is not bad. We see after this years prairie dog trip, plus I'm shooting it for sling practice a little, currently(but have backed the load off for that).

I'll be taking my 22 Creed prairie dog hunting, too. I have some of those new 62gr ELD-VT.42.5 of H4350 pushed them at 3800FPS but with only MOA accuracy at 100yds.
