22 Creedmoor

Got this Tikka 22 Creedmoor going today

It has a 26" 1-7 fluted Bartlein #3B barrel

Its for one of my good customers partner, the idea was low recoil with plenty of power with the 88 ELDMs & possibly the 90 grain A-Tip

It shoots very well, I shot 12 groups stepping up in 1/2 grain increments, the smallest was 7mm & biggest 19 with four shots, the first one, settled on this one :)

Its off to the very excited customer this week :)

Thats cool KG

Decided to shoot it again last weekend just to make sure it was good to go, decided to take half a grain out of it for no loss of accuracy & little velocity lost

Not a bad start from a clean bore :)

Yes, not a big drama, only has to be done once

I have neck turning tools permanently set up for a few cases

Excuse my ignorance but is this a 6.5CM cartridge necked down to .224?

Yes, I used Lapua 6mm Creedmoor brass necked down & neck turned

Sounds like great fun to be honest :)
