    .22 creedmoor

    So far this .22 creedmoor is every bit comparable to the .223 WSSM and then some. I have been achieving book velocities with slightly less powder than the .223 WSSM according to the berger and hornady manuals.

    Gunsmithing Hydro dipping

    This was a factory weatherby mark5 synthetic stock hydro dipped in a carbon fiber pattern. It can look pretty cool at times. The hydro dip seems to be descent and durable enough to use when sprucing up factory stocks.

    .22 creedmoor

    I use a 24" Krieger 1:8 running 38.0grns of Varget over a 130 Berger VLD at 2850. My 18" version runs the same load at 2717. The velocities stated above come right from the Berger book. Not that people don't go faster because we all know they do. It was a comparison of book data to book data...

    I wonder if his free bore is the same as well as the lead angle.

    .22 creedmoor

    140 doing 2840? are you using slower powder and a long barrel? I maxed the 130grn just under 2900 (24" barrel) before I started to get flat primers. After about 3 or 4 firings I can feel the primer pockets getting looser as well.

    .22 creedmoor

    the 7.7 twist was the fastest twist I could find ready to buy (1:7 Krieger on the way). It may not show great stability past 600 but I figured I would get a handle on round count, velocity and accuracy. Although the books say 1:7/1:6.5 twist for the bigger bullets I didn't feel too handicapped...

    Tactical vs. Practical. Need help building hunter/ range rifle.

    Cant go wrong running the .308 if it has to fill both spots in hunting and competition i'd run the .308 with a 22" barrel on a McMillan varminter. pm in route
