Anyone running this caliber? Saw a custom rifle at DSC last week and it looks like it would be a great offering for longer, heavier pills.

Lots of people shoot a 22-250AI. More alike than different. Creed has a 30* shoulder not 40

what Kaleb said, It is a 22-250 AI with a different shoulder angle.
However you slice it its an excellent big 22 bullet launcher though

Yes and it seems 30* is what the new stuff is. I bet it would be a dandy chambering

Isn't the Creedmoor parent brass the 30T/C?

Creeds are based on the .250 Savage case.
The idea of necking it down to .224 makes as munch sense as the 22-.204.

FWIW, Mr. Muledeer himself has made 6.5 creed cases out of 22-250 brass...so yup, a 22-250AI for all intents and purposes.

What you have here is your basic reinvention of the wheel.
I can see Ruger and Hornady introducing this as some sort of "revolutionary new cartridge", mated to 8 twist rifles. Which would probably sell better than trying to market 8 twist 22-250s.
It's like when a new girl shows up in town and everybody has to go after her, despite her saggy, wrinkled, used up body which looks and works just like the rest of the bar hags in town....she's new, so she's different.
The old 22-250 guys don't want or see much advantage in a new 22-250 just because it's a quick twist, just like they don't wanna go after Helga again just because she squeezed into a pair of size 14 jeans. They've been there, done that when she fit into size 20s and got it out of their system. The old boys wanna try out the new gal, missing teeth be damned.

I like old hags and the 22-250.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a .270-06 to build.

That would be nice.
As long as it has a 29 degree shoulder and not a 30. You'd be an idiot to go 30.

Haha, yeah I do my best to stay away from the ladies mentioned in my previous post!
Getting back to the subject, the 22-250 is just fine as is. When chambered in correctly twisted rifles, it's even better! If the 22 Creedmoor is ever standardized by SAAMI, it won't be because it fills any kind of necessary niche, it will be for marketing reasons. Correctly twisted 22-250s would fill the same role as the Creedmoor.

Correctly twisted 22-250s would fill the same role as the Creedmoor. 8" 22-250's are the UBER'est of the UBE. .223's are a close second. And sometimes tied for 1st. Depending on what you want. Dave

I hope that they standardize the 22 Creed with an 8 or even 7 twist, then market it through Ruger.
Wouldn't you be able to shoot 22-250 factory ammo in it to "fireform" and then be good to go?
