What 224 to build

[Beluebow]

Another vote for the 22Cm.

I want to launch 77-88 grain bullets out of either a GT or creed. Would you guys go 7 or 8 twist?

1:7" or faster (1:6"/6.5") for me, and propel Berger 90. I, too, am contemplating building a .22 cal LRH rig out of R700 LA .473" action. But still undecided on chambering.

I really appreciate everyones responses !! The reason for the 9 twist is because I am only looking to shoot 55gr v-max and 75 gr hpbt in this build. Mostly because I have a bunch of 75 hpbt bullets.

Yes, your 1:9" twist is perfect even at sea level for both bullets.

I'm thinking 80-88 eldm or 77 tmk. Probably should error on the faster side and go 7 twist, but if I want 8 twist the factory tikka 22-250 is an option. Darn don't want to thread that light barrel for my suppressor, so back to custom. So many choices! I probably better get a barrel and bolt face coming anyway.

I remember when I was happy killing everything with my .257 weatherby and game kings….I hate you guys!

22 Creedmoor Load Data

Since its’ inception, in 2007 by Hornady, the 6.5 Creedmoor has seen some pretty meteoric growth in popularity. That growth continues as of this writing, as the cartridge has now gone mainstream with hunters and shooters alike. As the popularity of the 6.5 Creedmoor has increased, so has the...

Im running a plain Jane .223 Rem using 75 hpbt's in an 8" twist.
It's just so much fun it's stupid.
Waiting for my suppressor it will be even more better funner…

 

[Idaho Trecker]

My next build is a 22 dasher with a 7.7 twist to shoot the heavier bullets. The way both my 6 dashers shoot it's an easy choice for me.

I know exactly what you mean Tom. I built the 223 Bolt for kids to learn on and they Hammer gongs up to 500y with it. Over 3k of 75 hpbt Molly and it still will put 10 in a dime at 100y. Great confidence builder for the kiddos.

Yep! My .257 WBY is also 1:7" twist.

22bra is my vote

 

[bsnyder]

22 gt/22 creed/22bra. The 22 creeds I've loaded for are so easy and accurate tragedy's get boring inside of 800. I have a 19 inch blank coming for a short barreled 22 creed.

Since mid-August, my 22GT has accounted for 12 coyotes. And I am not out calling for them. Just targets of opportunity. From 345 to 696 yds.

You stop to look back...and goodnight!
