22 Creedmoor vs 220 Swift
-
Hey guys, I'm brand new to Gunhive and I came by references to the 22 Creedmoor. I have a Remington VSSF chambered in 220 Swift that I am not impressed with the accuracy with (it's about 3/4) MOA, so not terrible but not real impressive either. I have been thinking about rebarraling it to a 6 or 6.5 creedmoor to make a long range varmenter. What would be the advantages or disadvantages of a 22 Creedmore?

The 22CM hits with 300ft/lbs more energy at 600yds than a 6.5CM. Mine pushes an 80gr berger just past 3500fps. It smashes coyotes, and smashes them hard. If you have any other specific questions just let me know.

Wow that is awsome! What is the difference between the 22 Creedmoor and the 22 Cheetah? And what could you expect barrel life to be? I am just kind of getting in to "long" range. My average shot on coyotes is between 200 and 300 yards and about the same on crows. I need to get some better glass if I am going to reach out farther consistently.

@220yotekiller A 22 cheetah is a fringe cartridge in comparison. The cheetah might have a bit more horsepower depending on who's loading it, but the 22CM is an easy button in comparison.
Not sure on barrel life. I haven't burned one up yet.
