The .22 vs. 6.5 Creedmoor debate is a close competition. When it comes to modern rifle cartridges designed for long-range accuracy and versatility, both sit near the top of shooters’ wish lists.
These two cartridges share a common lineage, as the .22 Creedmoor is essentially a necked-down version of the 6.5 Creedmoor case. However, they serve very different roles on the range and in the field.

Having all but the 6creed (well the 22 and 25 are waiting to be built) they are the easy button on cartridge choices. I will say that half of the bullet weights listed for the 22 won't stabilize in the 8 especially the 90 & 95's. I guess I'll find out on recoil comparisons when the barrels show up in 2 months?
 
Back in the day I used to buy a bunch from wideners until they were sold to somebody.
Shotgun news ads.
First thing was 500 44 bullets and 500cavim 308. Pre intertubes.
Back when Oclownears got in, I purchased like 5 cases of Wolf 223 from them too. (I just wanted to say Oclownears)

I have a AR10 cheapy 22creedmoor build sitting here that I need to shoot.
And I need data for the powders I have to load some.
Of course most powder I have is a bit too fast.
I do have Hunter and 6.5staybalz.

What don't know though, is why they are comparing 22creedmoor to 6.5?
Wouldn't it be better to compare 6mm creedmoor to 22creedmoor?
I think the 6mm will be the new hotness but I have never owned any.
 
The shooting sports industry needed some revival, I guess, so off we go with innovative bullet weights and case designs. And yes, if starting out today, one could shoot a 22 Creedmoor instead of a two-fiddy, and a 6.5 instead of an aught-six and cover all the bases in between.

Or just stick with 22-250 and 30-06🙄. Remember, new cartridges are primarily designed to encourage sales of NEW guns. How many WSSM cartridges you see sitting on the shelf at the LGS? Of all the rounds that have popped up in the recent past the only ones I see pretty regularly are .300blackout and 6.5 Creed

There's a very good reason why those disappeared.
On November 2, 2005 the United States District Court, D. Oregon ruled in the case Jamison v. Olin Corporation-Winchester Division, Case Nos. 03-1036-KI (lead case), 04-31-KI, 04-76-KI (D. Or. Nov. 2, 2005). Inventor John R. Jameson had developed and patented several designs for short magnum rifle cartridges. Jameson approached Olin/Winchester ammunition with his invention. The court found that Olin/Winchester and Browning WSSM products had infringed on Jamison's patents without compensation. Rather than pay royalties to Jamison, Winchester and Browning halted production of all WSSM rifles.

i'd been thinking about 2 300's (wsm, saum). went on ammoseek and saum was twice the price ($2.40/per vs $1.20/per). that was for loaded ammo. brass prices i didn't check at the time.

It's pretty ridiculous what brass costs these days.

I remember in the early 90s, paying $.20/case for 1000 pcs of 220 Russian brass. What a bargain then! Today, adjusting for inflation, that's probably $500. And to think when they went to $3 a case by the late 1990s!

But I also believe in paying for good brass. We have options today with Alpha and Peterson.

The tariff situation (and conflicts elsewhere in the world) have not helped. I have been trying to get Lapua 222 for years and it looks like it will never be imported to the US market again. Sigh.

If recycling would be better by users and waste haulers it might help for availability as the US is a dumpster of waste! Our local gathering station isn't designed well enough for said products. Even steel gets thrown away due to cost of reclaiming.
 
I remember buying 1000rds of cleaned once fired 9mm brass from MidwayUSA for $50
Once fired .45acp for $75 for 1000rds. also clean.
Twice the 9mm was +p+ brass, I was ecstatic lol. I still have about 750 rounds of that.
