Got my .22 Creedmoor build from Beanland about 2 months ago and it is starting to stack up the bodies. This thing is a laser beam with the 80.5gn Berger Fullbore's, and it flat hammers the coyotes. Still have yet to chronograph it, but its plenty flat out to 306yds according to a couple of pigs that tipped over in their tracks. Guessing it to be in the 3400fps range +/-.

A fast 22 shooting heavy bullets fast is a game changer. Rifle looks good If you haven't tried it yet checkout RL-26 for the powder, it will get those long 22 pills moving fast with good accuracy.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

I hit both pigs dead center in the shoulder plate at 299/306yds and neither one took a step. Only one kicked. They were 200#+ sows

Oh yeah, R-26 is an awesome powder. My calling buddy had the 75 amax running 3540 out of his creed and zero pressure signs. In his 243, he had the 105 amax going 3230ish and no pressure signs. I have a full 8# of H4350, but may look for a single # of R-26 to play with.

Picked up some of the new Lapua 6.5cm brass to neck down and try. Initial testing is showing it to be much stronger in the case head. We will see how much I can lean on it.

She had a great coat on her. I have shot 4 off of this farm and all have had exceptional fur. Should have skinned everyone for a coat.

22-250 brass fire formed will come in a little short but woks in the 22 Creedmoor. The fast 22 I use is a 22-243 with the chamber specked for Lapua brass necked down.

Yep, reports from a member over on Predator Master said that he got two or three firings before they even got up to the trim to length. It's nice to know that in a punch, you can get 22-250 brass and form it out.
