.22 Creedmoor INFO from Peterson Cartridge

November 5, 2022.22 Creedmoor INFO & LOAD DATA by Peterson CartridgePeterson Cartridge Company (“Peterson”) released a comprehensive guide to the 22 Creedmoor cartridge. This popular wildcat is based on either the 6.5 Creedmoor, or the 6mm Creedmoor, and lowered down to.224 caliber. The.22 Creedmoor is a long-range varmint cartridge that we believe would be comparable to the.22-25 Rem but with a more modern and efficient cartridge design. The.22 Creedmoor may be preferred by PRS/NRL competitors because it has a flatter-shooting design and less recoil than the 6mm Creedmoor. Match bullets of.224 caliber are usually less expensive than heavier 6mm or 6.5mm projectiles. What’s not to love? *This article includes load data. It also has sections that are dedicated to Primers, Rifling Twist rates, and Reloading Materials. If you are interested in building a.22 Creedmoor we recommend that you download the complete Peterson.22 Creedmoor Article in PDF format. The cartridge is now a mainstream choice for hunters and shooters. The number of wildcat cartridges that are based on the 6.5 Creedmoor have increased as a result. The.25 Creedmoor is also a popular wildcat cartridge, as well as the 6mm Creedmoor and the.22 Creedmoor. This data sheet will include the.22 Creedmoor. This Data Sheet was created to assist our customers and anyone who shoots.22 Creedmoor. This LOAD DATA document contains four (4) common bullets and four (4) common rifle powders that are used for handloading the.22 Creedmoor. The bullet and powder combinations were then loaded up to the SAAMI Maximum Pressure (MAP), which is 62,000 PSI for the 6.5 Creedmoor or 6mm Creedmoor cartridges. Our goal was to provide a broad range of bullet weights as well as the powders that were used with them. The following data was collected by our ballistician at our indoor ballistics laboratory in our factory in Pennsylvania. We were able to collect velocity and pressure data in our lab but have not tested these loads for accuracy. These loads are only intended to provide information to shooters about the SAAMI Maximum Average Pressure of (MAP) 62,000 psi. “Sample 22 Creedmoor LOD DATAIMPORTANT — Pressures may vary depending on the length of the Cartridge Overall Length (COAL). Any modification to any load component — bullets, primers, or powder — can impact pressure. Always load with caution. Due to differences in bore dimensions, barrels may have higher pressures than others. Always start with conservative loads and keep them below MAX pressures. There is a downside to this, however: a shorter barrel life. A.22 Creedmoor that is subject to hot varmint loads will have a shorter useful barrel lifespan than a 6.5 Creedmoor. This is based upon what we have observed with.22-252 and.22-252 Ackley barrels compared with our 6.5 CM barrels.
