.22 Creedmoor Improved

I ordered a reamer for a .22 Creedmoor Improved(40 Degree).Hadn’t decided what to call the chambering. Thought I would put it to the masses for a vote. The reamer is throated for the 95gr Sierra Matchkings.

6.5 Creedmoor/143gr ELD-X (Left)
.22 Creedmoor/195gr Sierra MK (Right)

What is improved on it? Just shoulder angle? Or is it moved forward any?

I do like the 22 inversion.  :chuckle:

It’s weird. That’s how the website down loaded it.

My guess is that the round in the picture is a straight 22 Creedmoor, not a fire formed version of the improved case. Since this is one of Biggerhammer's creations, I'd assume a sharper shoulder and maybe a longer case body.

I shoot worse than a blind monkey with no fingers, but I'm good at coming up with names. :chuckle:

What’s the BCs on that?

To me this is just like the .224 Cheetah only with a heavier bullet.  For those who aren't up on the Cheetah it was a .224 off of the .243 Win case.    I wanted one bad and still have the unfinished thumbhole stock in my garage.

Good grief.

You build some crazy cool stuff.

Expected velocity?

What’s the BCs on that?

.600

Do the math on a .224 195gr Sierra MK with a BC of .600 @ 3100fps plus. 75gr @ 3600 plus.

WICKED, comes to mind.

Since the Creedmoor case is kinda an improved design with its 30 degree shoulder angle, if you blow it out to a 40 degree, maybe you should call it the 22 Creedmoorerer :tup:

It should be close to a 22-243 Improved.  I just had one built and picked it up last week, I can tell you what they'll do with an 80gr ELD-M and ballistically speaking, they're no slouch.

Are you thinking it'll take something around a 2 or 3 twist to stabilize that "195gr" 22 caliber bullet?  I'm a little surprised the BC isn't something like 1.600 and I'm guessing it has an EXTREMELY longgggggggggggg bearing surface too.  A one hundred and ninety five grain 22 caliber SMK, you are absolutely right, WICKED, does come to mind. :chuckle:

Unless this is a new prototype missile of a bullet designed by NASA, I'll go out on a limb and bet you meant 95gr SMK not 195 because if it's not, that's a bullet worthy of being called a Boondoogle.  ;)

At the velocities a 6.5 twist will be optimal but a 7 will work just fine. For across the board performance the 88gr ELD-M is hard to beat.

Yes that 95gr! iPhone typo on the fly.
