I just put together my first 22 creed, and the first rounds down the barrel were your Texas Ammunition 80 ELD-M. Loving it! My dad is a lifelong 220 Swift guy on coyotes…my next challenge will be getting him to put down the swift long enough to try it out!

[@Will-sk9oj]

What is the length of the 22creedmor case?😃

[@nathansewell3912]

Thanks for the information! Great video.

[@Kaspar_Outdoors]

Glad it was helpful -- Thanks for the comment!

Plan is to screw on a proof pre for 22cm barrel on my Tikka 6.5CM am I good to go, that’s it from what I’m understanding I know have a laser lol

[@joemisak7925]

It’s either large or small rifle primers
The magnum , large rifle , etc are how hot they burn

[@godofmaine]

Can u use lighter bullets in 22 creedmoor like 50 55 grain bullets

[@Kaspar_Outdoors]

you can but you really do not get the advantage of the high BC rounds

[@johncostiloe2144]

ETA on this new bullet?

[@bradleyseal3844]

Any plans for a 277 creedmoor or a 277 prc

[@Kaspar_Outdoors]

That interesting, need to run some numbers on that

[@CoyoteRegulator]

Pretty good break down except where you glossed over barrel length. You chose the best barrel length at 18 inches because you’re running a suppressor. Not everybody can run a suppressor and at 18 inches you’re giving up a LOT of velocity.

[@SGWalker961]

Buy the 22" or 24"

[@rodr5785]

What do you think about the new ELD- VT 62 gr bullet out of the 22 Creedmoor?
They aren't available yet, so it's speculation, but I'm interested in your opinion.

[@Kaspar_Outdoors]

Great question! Derrick actually talks about it quite a bit in an upcoming episode of the podcast. So tune in next week! :)

[@Rico11b]

22GT for the win!!!......

[@dannyhoneywell7018]

[@Kaspar_Outdoors]

Some people think the world is flat too
