Well Final Answer, 22 creed load

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

         After near 100 test rounds I have arrived at what I'm comfortable with. Lots of different powders and charges. I shot each test load 3 shot and went up in .5 grain increments. I was testing two 75 gr bullets and a 77 gr. for the 77 gr it was 47 gr Mag pro 3207 fps and a group of .44". The 75 gr soft point with a 41.0 grains of H4350. A group of .55" and speed of 3224 fps.
Then the best of the best was a 75 gr HP loaded with 47.5 gr of Mag pro speed of 3155 group of .32". So I will shoot up the SP and the 77 gr hp then order the 75 gr HP. I can get them for around 15  cents each for 250. There all seconds but the price is right and at .32" I'm guessing they should average out at "dead prairie dog". What do you think. They all seam to hit in the same place on the target so under 300 yards I think all three will be mostly inter changeable.

	Sounds like you have put in the work to find an accurate load. I think it's going to be minute of prairie dog at least 300 yards and maybe more.
	I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.
