Warning! These loads were all shot during our "Handloading the .22 Creedmoor" video for Handloader TV. A custom Remington Model 700 rifle with a 1:7 twist 26-inch PROOF Research barrel was used to test all loads. Federal 210M primers, Redding dies and Peterson Large Rifle Primer brass used throughout. An Oehler 35P chronograph was used to record all velocities. Temperature was 57 degrees Fahrenheit, humidity was 27%, altitude was 5,200 feet, pressure was 25.16 in HG. The listed velocities were an average of 5 shots.

This is a wildcat, there are no SAAMI pressure guidelines, so there are no set maximum or minimum charge weights; however we found these loads to work well in our test rifle and pressure to be below 62,500 psi.

The 22-250rem is sort of the original, but has more taper than the 22creed. 22-250ai is as close to duplicating it as possible. All are barrel burners from what other people has posted about their builds in AR's an BA's, but seem to last 200-500 rounds longer (for their requirements) than either 22-250's. The higher pressure is what gives the 22creed the velocity advantage (2k-5k more pressure). I've come close to building a 22creed AR along with either 22-250 just to have a faster bullet in the above 75gr than the nato round w/o having a rebated rim. 22rem/br is a possible and being able to use the ar15 platform (6rembr/norma br/6dasher gives lots of energy with the 90gr over the 22cal of equal lengths). The lack of support with/on components keeps me away from the 22creed.
