Whats the process for building a 22 Creedmoor if say hypothetically I wanted to build one off a Tikka action?
Is the brass tough to make?

But the A-max isn't a hunting bullet. Way to knock em down. If I ever have 2 pennies to run together I'm gonna have you build me one.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Is the brass tough to make? Simple, We rebarrel it to 22 creed, then you step down 6mm creed in a single step down. you can do it with bushing dies from redding or were are a couple weeks out from having full length die sets done.

Not to hijack, but what is the difference between a 22 Creedmoor and a 22-250?

The parent case for 22-250 is the 250-3000 Savage. I just learned that a few months ago. I always thought it was the 308.

Close performance wise to the 22 creed would be 22-6mm/.224TTH

As a comparison. My .22-250 is a 1:8" twist, and shoots 75 gr A-maxes. But it is 3200 fps MV. So the 22 Creedmoor adds quite a bit of velocity. And I wouldn't be surpised if the Creedmoor has a lower ES due to better case geometry.

Question:
What advantage does a .22creed or a .224tth with a 75 grain bullet at 3450 fps offer over a .257 wby with a 110 grain bullet at 3450 fps?
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Awesome shooting and sweet rifle!
Any chance you could post photos of a few cartridges together for comparison....like .223, 22 Creed, .243, 22-250?
Just curious what they look like next to each other.
