Does anyone make factory 22-creed ammo or are you going with custom loaded ammo?
Look up Roberts rant on 100 yard groups not telling the entire story about shooting long range.
If you reload or are having custom ammo being made you should do a 10 shot ladder test at 300 or longer. It will dial in your charge weight for a very forgiving load.
If it were me, I'd load 20 rounds at a known safe load at .010 off the lands to dial in at 100 and verify dope to 300. Then have 20 rounds loaded to do 2 each 10 shot ladders at 300-500 yards using a chronograph to verify results. This will quickly dial in your charge weight. From their you can adjust for seating depth if necessary.
If you're serious about going long this is an excellent way to dial in a load which will be very forgiving to minor variations in temperature or charge weigjt.
Best of luck it looks like a great rig and cartridge combo.
Interested in how the 22 Creed works for you. If you ever start reloading, Alpha makes 22 Creedmoor brass. I have a 6 Creed slinging 110’s at 3150. I bet a 22 cal 90grainer will top 3400.
My old 223AI slinging 80 grain amax did 1k allll day easily. 2950 FPS. A buddy of mine took his to 1500 yards. You’d be surprised what a well built 223 will do at distance with good ammo.
Sweet rifle OP!!
It is amazing what 26ish grains of powder behind a 75/80gr Amax will do in a 223AI. Simply a great little round in a fast twisted bbl.
