22 Creed build ..need sources

[Highbrass]

Been looking at building a 22 Creed for an upcoming Pdawg shoot. I have a .308 Howa that should cover most of the prerequisites. I have even sourced replacement barrel that can be delivered in 2 weeks.
Now I need a source for dies & brass. I have seen bits and pieces scattered all over the internet and could proly cobble enough together. I have a hunch someone on the Hide has resources ??
Hep me owt ....

Another question, possibly from someone who has a 22 Creed. What would you suggest on twist rate. I have read And heard some conflicting information?
I plan on shooting 75 grain and up so I'm thinking 1:7 but ??
Any help here would be appreciated

8 twist is great for 75 grain.
probably want 7.5 or 7 twist for heavier.

WoW that's pretty fast ... But I guess that's the reason for having a 22 Creed

Right now If I could just find a good set of dies.... And some Brass.

For a long range gun go 7 twist. I’m running my 85 rdfs at 3300+ Which is 340k rpm and no blow ups. Use a good bullet and you don’t have the thin bullet problems.

The issue there is that that bullet won’t be very spectacular in prairie dog town. Id figure out what bullet you want to use and how far and figure twist from there. For 55s a 12 twist would be good, 69s a 9 twist, for 80s an 8 twist and anything 90+ will be 7 but that won’t be prairie town I don’t think.

The good news is that after a hot afternoon of a few hundred dogs you’ll need a new barrel so any selection mistakes now won’t be that long lasting

I’m running 95gn projos through a rock creek 1:6.5

some people said I would over rotate and get jacket separation before impact.

some people are wrong a lot. No “poof” so far w this combo.

As far as brass….I had to buy some Copper Creek pre loaded stuff just to get brass. Even they are out now.

may have to resize 6CM to get started.

Mid south has a 22cm match master set available
Die available here
I have the matchmaster in 6gt. Good stuff

I went back and forth on barrel twist for a long time - I ended up splitting the difference and going with a 1:7.5 twist Bartlein Med Palma. Should be able to handle the 75-95 gr projectiles without shredding jackets. It took me a while to source a barrel, but I found mine from bulletcentral.com.

P.S. Here's your brass:

Lots of good info here. I'm in the same boat, only I've got the dies only at the this point waiting for the barrel.

with all the supply issues I'm having a sideways look at 22-250 AI
Everything available now and velocities very similar.
