Nope, I consider that a fair response.....especially if components are hard to come by

Bobo gets exactly what I was saying.


I was not touting the weatherby as being superior I was simply using it as a comparison since its a commonly known, fast, flat shooting, mildly recoiling round

Where exactly do you buy 22 CM ammo from and for how much?

You can load a 257 wby for less than $3.80 a bang too.

But do you really want to shoot varmints with 60 grains of powder and 110s that seems little silly

I agree no, but I wouldn't hesitate to shoot pronghorn, mule deer, white tails etc with it. For the record I have shot raccoons with a 7mm wby and 160 grain partitions, much to my buddies dismay. Whole problem is someone flew off the handle when a simple question was asked.

Different tools for different jobs is all. And there are tools that some guys prefer over others. I would not go Pronghorn, Mule deer, or whitetail hunting with my .22-250 or the .22 Creedmoor. I would use my 6.5 Creedmoor, or my 7 Rem Mag, because that is my preference. I also would choose not to go prairie dog hunting with my 6.5 Creedmoor or my 7 Rem Mag when the .22-250 or .22 Creedmoor is a more appriate tool for the job, in my way of thinking. But I do not begrudge the hunters Derrick put up photos of. They obviously are competent with themselves and have confidence in their cartridge of choice.

It's hard to argue when there are photos of dead bodies that were killed from far away.

i get it rolling your own is cheaper and availability of "off the shelf" is convenient... there it is TT85 the WBY beats the creed in the catagory "availability of off the shelf ammo".


Now lets look at making our own...... its not even close as creed brass is 620 for a 1k pieces and the cheapest 257 was 1160 for 1K, too many; ok 62 vs 116 for 100 pieces 40 bucks just in brass, projectiles and primer are prob a wash... the the 20grns less powder 2:1 at worst...... numbers don't look pretty for the belted magnum

Well this derailed quick, We charge 38 per box of 22 creed to each his own we have built plenty of both. I personally will not own a WBY cartridge but don't mind building them, they are just not my style, but if thats what you want to use great. I have 2 rifles I run the 22 Creed for everything Mule Deer and under and the 28 nosler for Mule deer and bigger. To each their own.

Amen... And if one fellow doesn't have time to reload and only shoots commercial ammo, and another pays for customs reloads that is ok also.
