6mm Creedmoor or 22 Creedmoor?

[BigTy313]

I am currently building a gun to go coyote hunting with as well as just shoot for fun. I am between these two cartridges, any advice?

If you’re gonna compete then 6mm.
Other wise the 22 creed is pretty badass.

Not ever competing with this rig. It will just be a fun gun, and predator hunting gun. The only thing that I love about the 6mm creedmoor is the availability of ammo. I am just wondering how many people hunt with the 6 creed

17 Creedmoor. This is America, go big or go home.

If you care about ammo then go 6 as 22 creed ammo doesn’t really exist outside of boutique shops.
If you reload then it’s the same either way which I was assuming you did.

A 22 creed throated long for the 95 SMKs is damn impressive, mine will do 3200 from a 22 inch Rock.

If you’re just plinking a 22 creedmoor is fine but reloading is a must.

Lots of people hunt with the 6 Creed or other comparable 6mm cartridges.

I hunt with both...
Dedicated coyote gun I’d go 22 CM all day although I’ve had zero problems killing deer and big hogs with mine.

What powders are you mad dogs running in these hot rod 22cms? Loving those MVs. That is a flat, hard hitting pill at that speed...

I do. The 108 ELD @2950 (22" gasser) flattens coyotes like a large rock from a high cliff.
I mean, it's basically the ballistic twin of the 243 Win, which is probably neck and neck with the 22-250 for killing the most coyotes of all time.

Hybrid100V
80gr ol school AMaxes at 3270 out of a 20”

rl26 for the 85rdf in this 26" barrel but Ill probably do h4350 with a 77 tmk on the next 18" barrel.

Not a creed but 22LRV (6XC parent)
25" kreiger
95 smk
3140 at 37.6gr H4350
Probably 2 grains below max

Both are great rounds - I've got a 6 Creed and I'm having a 22 Creed spun up here shortly.

 

[SAVAGESEVEN]

what Bergers bullets are you guys running that are shooting the 22 creed for coyotes at long distance ?
