I'm having one built. Great round, DSTROUD on here is the resident King of the .22 Creed.

Can you give more details of the rifle, manufacturer of all the components, gunsmith who built it? Barrel twist rate?

So far Copper Creek is the only place you can buy loaded ammo. If he reloads, Dies are available from Accurate Arms (Redding) I believe Hornady also offers them. H-4350 with the Berger 80.5 Fullbore is a good starting point. Brass is available from Hornady, Alphamunitions and coming soon to Peterson Brass.

Snipers Hide Forum has a whole thread on loads for the .22 Creed.

In 6 months I believe the .22 Creed will really catch on fire, and Hornady will begin factory loading it.

For the 90gr bullets you really need a 1:7 twist rate, The 1:8 will handle the 75s and 80s very well and there are some very good choices in that weight. Like Buzz said DStroud and add Dee to the list of very knowledgeable shooters of the 22 Creed. I have had a 22-243 for several years and with a 27 inch 1:8 twist barrel I can get acceptable accuracy from the 90s but prefer the 75 to 80 gr bullets. The 75gr Swift Sirocco is a great bullet for deer sized game in it.
