22 Creed-
I have had half a dozen 22/250 AI's, it is a very efficient case, extremely accurate, and is idiot proof in working up a load that will shoot bug holes. The old 65g Bergers bullets is as heavy as I have ever shot in my 12T, 37g of Win 760 shoots bug holes at 3700 fps. This load shoots HUGE holes in coyotes, near and far. The Creed may take 10g more powder...have hot tried that bullet in the only 8T, 22 creed that I have ever owned. Read: I have a 22 PPC that may take another 10grs. more....because I haven't blown myself up yet, all math and physics do not apply, only a case and a gun still intact for green lights. "Efficiency" is magic....

22 Creed- hornady brass
75g A max= 46g of R#26 is 3550
75g " = H1000, 3585fps
80g A = Retumbo, 3500
80g A = H1000, 3440
75g A = 46g h4831, 3440
80.5g Berger = 43.0g H4350 super accurate, have not clocked it yet
My bbl is 26" heavy sporter
Lot numbers of powder vary, work up to these loads in your rifle. My results are very similar to what others are getting, nothing unusual.

I am a predator hunter, and shooting coyotes in half floats my boat (I will not skin another one till I kill a solid black one).
I have killed a butt load of deer with a 55g Hornady in the 22/250 AI, head shots, neck shots, lung shots...apple orchards.
I am going to play with killing hogs and deer with the 22 creed. I hope the 75 & 80g A max work, but have 62g TTSX as a back up(hope I don't have to go there). The 22 creed is within 100 fps(or less) of the 22/243 AI 8T Hart bbl, using R#22, Retumbo, H1000, and H4831.
Shot placement trumps all, animals are not hard to kill.
My 22Creedmoor is not having any trouble with deer ![[Linked Image]](http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t49/venatic_photos/IMG_1762.jpg) On this Cull hunt it went 21 for 21 with 3 runners making about 20 yards for an average Whacked some hogs too this week one at 312 another at 420 ![[Linked Image]](http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t49/venatic_photos/IMG_1783.jpg)
Curiosity killed the cat, But for a while I was a suspect.

All the deer were shoulder shots the pigs head shots During midday called a few coyotes. The 80.5 Fullbore did not perform as well on coyotes as I would have liked.... two spinners and one ran 20 yards all complete pass thru with big exits. Initial thoughts bullet is pretty tough for predators. ![[Linked Image]](http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t49/venatic_photos/IMG_1785.jpg)

Man, I want to get into some of that Texas pig hunting one of these days. My daughter and her husband and my grand baby live in Austin. Next time I make it down there I'm going to drag him out on a little hunting trip.
