Podcasts about Creedmoor

Federal has taken the high-pressure case technology first seen in the 7mm Backcountry and applied it to the 6.5 Creedmoor, creating the new 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak. This new ammunition promises to deliver 6.5 PRC level performance out of a standard 6.5 Creedmoor rifle. In this episode, Outdoor Life shooting editor John Snow returns to the podcast to discuss his extensive pre-launch testing of this groundbreaking ammunition from Federal. We cover real-world performance with this ammunition in 20″ and 24″ barrels, how that performance compares to traditional 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 PRC factory ammunition, what reliability was like, and the exciting news that these cases are reloadable. We also dive deep into Proof Research's revolutionary PXT radical gain-twist barrels and why they're a perfect match for higher-pressure loads, including major improvements in barrel life. We also discuss potential +P versions of other cartridges (like the .308 Winchester and 5.56 NATO, etc.), implications for suppressors and short-barreled rifles, military applications, and how this technology is resetting expectations for centerfire rifle performance.

listener Logan V. asks whether to rebarrel his Tikka T3X into a 22 Creedmoor or 6 Creedmoor for predators, mule deer and potentially elk, shooting factory only, 18 inch barrel, suppressed, proficient to 600 yards. Wade breaks down why things have changed since the original 2023 podcast, what Hornady's factory ammo support means for both cartridges, and why the elk question tips the scales toward the 6 Creed. Plus, what being proficient to 600 yards actually requires from a marksmanship standpoint. 22 Creedmoor and 6 Creedmoor ammo available at allymunitions.com.

Love, PlowGuyDave Question from Rob K from Connecticut Rob K From ConnecticutDear WLS Hey guys it's Rob again! I finally got my approval paperwork on my Aero M5 in my state after having to register it. Since it will probably be my only AR-10 I'll ever own unless I move I'm looking for ideas on a final build for it. I'm very similar to Nick where I don't want to switch around uppers on my lower. If you guys could only build one AR-10 how would each of you do it? Caliber? Barrel length? Optic? Max range I have access to is 200 yards. I'm open to anything on my final build including switching to 6.5 Creedmoor. It's currently set up with a 18inch Aero upper in 308 with a swampfox 5-25×56 FFP Warhawk. Before Jeremey comments I know the scope is massive for that rifle and range I have. I got a crazy deal on it and couldn't say no but realized it's not ment for my setup. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Bonus question! What bolt rifle would you throw that Warhawk on always down to buy another rifle for the collection. Many thanks guys!!! #WLS is life!!!

THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS Can You Shoot 5.56 Through a .22 Suppressor? – The Truth About Guns Can you shoot 5.56 through a .22 suppressor? Usually no. Here's why pressure, heat, and gas volume matter so much. The article addresses whether .556/.223 ammunition can be safely fired through a standard .22LR (rimfire) suppressor. In the general case, it is not safe or recommended. Most dedicated rimfire suppressors are engineered only for the much lower pressures, smaller gas volumes, and reduced heat produced by .22LR, .22WMR, or similar rimfire cartridges. NSSF NSSF Releases Most Recent Firearm Production Figures (ATF AFMER 2023) Over 32 million Modern Sporting Rifles in Circulation WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, released the Firearm Production in the United States including the Firearm Import and Export Data 2025 Edition (reporting 2023 data) to its members.

GUN FIGHTS Play the best Price Is Right-style GunBroker game on the internet. BANGRANK A live cast ranking segment for anything and everything in the gun world, powered by questionable certainty, strong opinions, and audience voting. THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update 1. AGENCY BRIEF: STREET SWEEPER / USAS-12 DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE RECLASSIFICATIONWhat this really was: In 1994, ATF took lawfully owned shotguns and shoved them into the NFA “destructive device” category. No vote in Congress. No new statute. Just an agency ruling that turned specific 12-gauge shotguns into the same legal category as grenades. The targets were the Striker-12, the Street Sweeper, and the USAS-12. The Striker and Street Sweeper used revolving cylinders. The USAS-12 was a semi-auto, magazine-fed shotgun. They all fired ordinary 12-gauge shells, the same kind of ammunition people put through hunting pumps all over the country. The legal hook was buried in the National Firearms Act, specifically 26 U.S.C. § 5845(f). That section says a weapon with a bore over one-half inch can be treated as a destructive device unless the government decides it is “generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes.” A 12-gauge shotgun has a bore of about .73 inches. So every 12-gauge in America avoids the NFA only because ATF treats it as sporting enough. That is the trapdoor. In 1994, during the Clinton administration, ATF issued Rulings 94-1 and 94-2. The agency said these shotguns had no recognized sporting purpose, pointing to their weight, capacity, and military-style features. Once ATF withdrew that exemption, the guns became destructive devices. The pattern was simple: Start with a broad statute and an elastic test like “sporting purposes.” Use subjective factors, including appearance, to pull back prior approval. Reclassify the guns by agency ruling. Open a short amnesty period for tax-free registration. Turn missed paperwork into felony exposure. Confirmed fact: ATF used the sporting purposes clause to reclassify these firearms and require NFA registration without Congress passing a new law. What is less clear is how many legacy owners actually got notice before the amnesty window closed. But the legal threat was real, and the policy result stuck....

In this episode of DSC's Campfires, host Larry Weishuhn shares the thrilling details of his recent European roe deer hunt. He recounts his journey through Sweden, Poland, and Scotland alongside friends Mark and Carol Little, as well as expert guides Stefan and Sofia Bengtsson from Scandinavian Pro Hunters. Larry's deep passion for the sport and the delicious rewards of the hunt shine through as he details the beautiful landscapes, his gear, and the magnificent animals he encountered along the way. Larry compares the European roe deer to the whitetailed deer of European countries. These deer have a notably small body size, typically weighing between 50 and 60 pounds. Beyond the challenge of the hunt, Larry notes that the meat from these deer is absolutely delicious. The three-nation hunt was initially created as a donation for the DSC Foundation Gala in 2025. The package was generously put together by Larry alongside Stefan and Sofia Bengtsson of Scandinavian Pro Hunters. Mark and Carol Little purchased the hunt at the gala to help fund various DSC Foundation projects. The actual hunt came to fruition shortly before recording, taking place in May 2026. Larry traveled from Austin to London to Copenhagen, eventually driving across the waterway to the southernmost tip of Sweden. The group hunted on a large estate managed by Scandinavian Pro Hunters. This property featured a beautifully rehabilitated waterway that now supports abundant wildlife and sea-run trout. Carol Little successfully harvested a great deer early in the trip. Larry hunted from a "hochsitz" (an open-top deer blind) using Stefan's single-shot K95 Blaser rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. He harvested a mature, silver-medal buck with gorgeous ivory-colored antler tips. The group traveled by train from Malmo to Copenhagen, then flew directly into Warsaw, Poland. The Polish hunting grounds were highly agricultural, filled with apple orchards, blackberries, and strawberries. Larry hunted with Stefan and a local English-speaking guide named Derek. Using an R8 Blaser in .243, Larry shot a buck late in the evening. The local property manager used a thermal drone, which is completely legal in Poland, to recover the deer in the dark. This buck scored as a silver medal and featured a unique 3x4 point configuration. On a subsequent outing in Poland, Larry successfully used an 8x57 JS rifle to take another beautiful silver-medal buck. The final leg involved flying into Glasgow, Scotland, and driving to an area near Inverness. Larry hunted with a local Scottish guide named George. Larry used George's 6.5x55 Swede rifle to stalk and harvest another incredible roe deer buck. In total, Larry took four roe deer during the trip, including three 3x3s and two featuring a fourth point. Larry will be attending the Texas Wildlife Association Convention in San Antonio from July 23rd to July 26th. He will also be present at the upcoming DSC Summer Expo and DSC Gala. Another Scandinavian Pro Hunter trip will be auctioned off at the DSC Gala. Listeners can find full written stories and photos on Larry's website at larryweishuhn.net. Video coverage of the hunt will be available on Carbon TV and his YouTube channel, A Sportsman's Life.

Joel Turner spent 11 years as a SWAT sniper instructor before becoming one of the most well known instructors in the hunting world. His take on why hunters miss is unlike anything you've heard — and it applies equally to archery and rifle.We start with how bullets actually kill. From there we get into the pre-ignition flinch... why there's no such thing as a subconscious override of the central nervous system, what open loop vs. closed loop trigger press actually means, and why the fix isn't mechanics. The fix is speech. Joel's core argument: the skill is not in the shooting, it's in what you say in your head while you shoot.In this episode:Hydrostatic shock, the 2,200 fps threshold, and why a .22 Creedmoor can kill elkPre-ignition flinch — open vs. closed loop trigger press explainedWhy talking yourself through the shot is the actual skillThe 2014 blacktail story — how Joel figured it all out in a rainy tree standCommentary shooting from police driver training and why it works for archeryFree diving and breath holds — why that culture already knows thisHinge releases: when they're a fix for a mental problem vs. a legitimate choiceElk calling — distress calf vs. bull calling cows bugle, and the textbook bull setupThe yo stop: why a bull whirling at 10 yards is a controlled shot, not a panic shotGuest: Joel Turner — ShotIQ founder, former SWAT sniper team instructor, competitive barebow archer. Joel's elk calling app: https://www.mtnwispr.com/Shot IQ: https://shotiq.com/Instagram: @joelturner_actualChapters00:00 How Bullets Actually Kill04:44 The Flinch Mechanism34:17 The 2014 Breakthrough45:48 Commentary Shooting51:44 Snap Shots & Mental Game01:14:02 Listener Questions01:20:33 Free Diving Parallel01:41:22 Elk Calling System---FOLLOW CLIFFYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGrayInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliffPursuit With Cliff Podcasthttps://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/Hunt.

Host Seth Swerczek and Preston Lentfer continue the budget precision rifle project by breaking down the upgrades made to the Glenfield Model A in 6.5 Creedmoor. From aftermarket parts to setup changes, the duo compares the new dispersion results using the same Hornady ammunition from Part 1 to see whether the upgrades improved performance—or made things worse.

Part 3 of 3: Wade and Anthony close out with a deep dive on cartridge selection for thermal pig and predator hunting, why the 6.5 Creedmoor is Anthony's go-to for everything, the EOD BT projectile breakdown and what Ally Munitions has been developing in the 69 grain 22 Creedmoor space. Plus Anthony tells the story of a free-handed 160 inch buck at last light, why he went for the neck shot, and the UNV helmet bridge, a Texas-made thermal and night vision mounting solution is available now at Ultimate Night Vision. Visit allymunitions.com for ammo, optics & gear.

Host Seth Swerczek and Preston Lentfer put a bone-stock Glenfield Model A in 6.5 Creedmoor to the test to see just how much precision you can get on a budget. From the scope, rings, and bipod setup to testing three varieties of Hornady ammunition, the duo establishes a baseline for the rifle's dispersion capability before diving into upgrades. Stay tuned for Part 2, where aftermarket modifications are added to see if the improvements make a difference.

Wade breaks down why a 6 ARC is gumming up the firing pin after 20 rounds and how to fix it, the best stock and chassis upgrades for a Ruger American predator on a budget, and how to find your max point blank range for the 6 Creedmoor 87 grain V-Max without someone just guessing for you. Plus, a nonprofit getting youth, military and last wish recipients into the outdoors took a five year old with terminal brain cancer on a hunt with a 6 ARC. That's what this cartridge is about. Visit allymunitions.com for ammo, gear & the live seminar tab.

Wade and Anthony get into the massive disconnect between gun manufacturers and their actual customers, why the companies winning right now are the ones paying attention at the ground level, and why most sales data flowing back to big corporations is completely skewed. Plus a deep dive on Anthony's rigs — the Tech 47 in 6mm Creedmoor, the NocTec Ultra Mate 1280 clip-on in the field, MDT chassis and bipods, D-Lock mounts, thermal base magnification and why you should stop cranking up your zoom.

Which is better: 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5x55 "Swede?"  Ever since it was first introduced, savvy shooters have been commenting that the 6.5 Creedmoor doesn't do anything better than their classic 6.5x55. Is this true? Could the 6.5x55 even be (GASP!) better than the 6.5 Creedmoor? Or do the modern characteristics of the 6.5 Creedmoor provide additional performance that's launched the 6.5mm cartridge to stardom? In this episode, we take a candid look at both cartridges, and consider the pros and cons of each within it's respective performance zone. Take a listen, and then YOU decide which is better.

Welcome back to the Mindful Hunter Podcast! In this episode, Jay wraps up the massive backlog of listener questions from our recent Q&A, covering everything from backcountry bear hunting stories to controversial reloading opinions. We kick things off with a recap of Jay's first guided bear hunt of the season, detailing a successful 400-yard shot and a massive 6-foot+ boar. Then, we dive into the Q&A, tackling some heated topics. Is extreme spread (ES) and standard deviation (SD) actually important for hunting, or is it just a distraction? Jay shares his unfiltered thoughts on why speed for speed's sake is useless and how to reverse-engineer your bullet velocity for maximum terminal performance. Jay also answers questions about the best books to improve your hunting (spoiler: you should probably just spend more time in the field), the single biggest mistake he made when he first started hunting, and why using a floorless shelter in the high country is a recipe for disaster. Plus, get the details on a massive $10,000+ giveaway, the upcoming technical apparel launch, and some exclusive outfitting opportunities. Whether you're looking for reloading advice, scouting strategies, or just some honest, unfiltered hunting talk, this Q&A is packed with actionable advice to help you level up this season.

Use code AGENCY171 Dear WLS Question from Beefa King Your Mom I just put together an AR10 in .308 and would like to take it hunting for pronghorn out in Colorado. I threw a 1-6 LPVO on it so I could take it to the range but do you think I should upgrade optics? Question from Keith M WINNER Form 1 question, when the atf asks for photos for a suppressor build is it of raw materials or what ? Appreciate y'all and enjoy listening , makes the work day go by faster& annoys the libtards Question from Jason L First off, which Gideon optic would you recommend for a 43X? Secondly, my 12yo son wants to get into USPSA shooting. Should we do it and if we should, any advice? Question from KY Horseman from KY Dear WLS KY Horseman Thinking about getting a Henry Supreme. What do y'all think about them? Not sure whether to get 300 blackout or 556 version. Would use it for hunting some but mostly a range toy. Maybe get a suppressor for it in the future. I was leaning towards the 556 version since I already have a stock pile of 556 ammo. What do y'all think? Thanks KY Horseman Question from Ken G. from Virginia Ask WLS: I believe local gun shops are critical to the protection of the second amendment. It seems that online sales are hurting my local shops that don't have a range attached for revenue. Is there a national association that supports and protects independent dealers from unfair trade practices? I recently read about the Robinson-Patman Act. It seems like a well established group could use this act to end the unfair pricing that makes it difficult for small businesses to compete. Ken G.

n this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson of Wolf Precision makes the case for the .22 ARC and why it may become one of the most versatile rifle cartridges available today. Jamie has long been a fan of the .22 Creedmoor, but after seeing early results from customers and testing new rifles built with the Gen 4 ACE system, the .22 ARC is proving to be an extremely compelling option for many shooters Jamie also previews upcoming videos where the team will swap chambers using the ACE system, rebuild the rifles on camera, and test the .22 ARC side-by-side against other popular cartridges out to 1,000 yards. If you're looking for a cartridge that delivers exceptional accuracy, low recoil, affordable ammunition, and excellent performance, the .22 ARC might be exactly what you've been waiting for.

With the SBR tax stamps going to $0, I am considering having the barrel cut and threaded to 11”. This is basically the end of the stock forearm.

It's purpose would be for frequent cheap target practice, and maybe occasional EDC as I prefer to carry 9mm. I am kind of between the Walther P22Q (tactical?) or the Taurus TX22, however welcome the groups recommendations on other firearms as well. Historically I've disliked every Taurus I've held or shot. Reviews are mixed on the P22 but I like the look and feel better. Love the show and all you guys do. Thanks until next time. #ssb Question from Nick F this year I turn 44, naturally I'd like to get myself a 44 magnum. y'all got any suggestions to solve my dirty harry dilemma? Question from Kyle R I was excited last year for Ohio to be hosting Guncon, but disappointed I couldn't make it. Sounds like I missed a bullet though. With Patton trying again, this time outside of “BEAUTIFUL” Youngstown, I'll get a second chance. Are all of the cast planning on going? Could this be the trip that finally gets Shawn to quit being a Commie and move to a respectable state? Question from Ben Dover Can you suggest a decently light hunting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor? I have a Bergara B-14 HMR and I'd prefer something that weighs a bit less. Not looking to get into a Bergara after my first experience GUN INDUSTRY NEWS TACWRK Announces Tasmanian Tiger TT Mega Mil OPS Pack 600 TACWRK, in collaboration with Ripperkon, has released the largest Tasmanian Tiger backpack ever built, the TT Mega Mil OPS Pack 600, boasting a 900-liter capacity in Olive.

I recently ordered my first suppressor since I live in a comme state now and they're trying to put a $500 tax on suppressors. I got a resilient suppressors, simple man 30 cal can. 2 questions. One, Is this a decent suppressor for the $500 I paid. Two, how many rounds do you think it will last. I will mostly be using it on bolt actions with occasional use on an ar. Great show! Question from Anonymous Coward from GA If reasonable fear of grave bodily harm justifies self defence, and whistles and bullhorns cause permanent hearing damage, why aren't we shooting protesters? Question from Dusky from Florida Dear WLS, We are seeing quite a bit of piston driven rifle systems, mainly AR (cause fuck everything else) hit not only the market but the front lines and the streets in some cases as it seems to be being issued more often. I understand the basic concept of the piston driven rifle; doesn't dump trash and heat into the bolt so much as well as other things… (maybe Jeremy can even explain some of the differences of some of the different piston systems, if we're lucky enough for him to oblige us in between burps and yawns and hitting his mic if he'snot playing clash of clans [love you Jerombe]) So why though? Probably has a lot to do with the previously stated reason, as well as running suppressors being common SOP for many, which brings up my question – Will we ever see more piston systems than DI? Do you think there will be a point where that happens, is there that much of an advantage for that to be a likely scenario? Thank you for your time. Dusky. Some notes. Question from DrCivilRightsGuy Hey guys. It's MLK weekend and I feel the Democrats sold black people a promise of prosperity and then decided to renig, ergo their situation may be worse now than before the civil rights movement. Many leaders came out of that flotsam, both MLK and Malcolm X rose above the rest. Both were very pro-gun but had different ideas on how to fight injustice. What does the cast think could have happened if the 70s went X's way instead of MLK's? What would both say about how things are now? Also, did nick just drop an n-bomb and then call those two heroes “sambos”? DrCivilRightsGuy Question from Anonymous Coward from Michigan With NFA stamps costing $0, I'm about to SBR a metric ton of lowers and would like to do my own NFA engraving. Anyone have experience with laser engravers and if so, any recommendation? Question from LagDemon from LagDemon if you had a mp5k/ clone and it had a 3 lug barrel and threads would you get a 3 lug mount or some kind of mount for the threaded? Question from Anonymous Coward from WA Cat Facts # 171 said Shawn likes going both ways with cats but wont have a threesome. I find this odd and wanna know why he doesn't have the courage to go all the way. We all know he has the balls but thats a whole nother story.

Drew Miles Podcast sits down with Seth Swerczek from Hornady for a deep-dive on bullet design and real-world terminal performance. They break down varmint vs match vs hunting bullets, why some projectiles can be “lights out” and others can be inconsistent, and how velocity windows drive expansion and penetration. The conversation hits everything from V-MAX nostalgia and modern ELD-VT performance, to the truth behind ELD-M vs ELD-X construction, energy debates, and practical caliber choices for elk. They close with a focused recommendation for .22 Creedmoor loads (80gr ELD-X and 69gr ELD-VT) and a quick detour into 7PRC vs 280 Ackley, plus some desert dirt-bike talk.Key takeaways / bullets (for show notes page) Lead-core varmint bullets (example: V-MAX) create dramatic terminal effect on coyotes compared to many monolithic copper options that can “pencil” through thin-skinned game. ELD-VT (Varmint Target) is positioned as a modern, fast-twist varmint bullet line: low-drag shape + explosive terminal behavior. Factory match ammo has closed the gap with handloads for many rifles; modern chambers/twist rates can be more forgiving and consistent. ELD-M vs ELD-X: externally similar in some weights, but internally different (jacket thickness/taper + core retention features) which changes consistency and “performance envelope” on game. Match bullets can absolutely work on animals, but “sometimes” is the problem—consistency matters more than best-case performance. Velocity is a driver for bullet function; too slow can fail to open, too fast can cause shallow blow-up depending on design. For elk-sized game, Seth's personal preference trends toward 7mm (not necessarily “more energy,” but appropriate diameter + bullet design + confidence). 7PRC's “why” (vs custom 7 mag / 280 AI): off-the-shelf ability to run long, high-BC bullets in factory rifles/ammo without custom mags/reamers/higher-pressure handload gymnastics. .22 Creedmoor: Seth's field experience is strongly positive with 80gr ELD-X for deer/antelope and even larger plains game; 69gr ELD-VT is his coyote “medicine.”

Trying to decide between Hornady's new .25 Creedmoor and Weatherby's new .25 RPM cartridge? Or are you unconvinced that they are any better than your reliable old .25-06 or .257 Weatherby Magnum? We're here to help! Or rather, we've got professional help... We're joined this episode by Colton Heward; professional big game guide and Managing Editor of Peterson's Hunting. He's a quarter-bore savant from way back, and has already hunted New Zealand and Old Mexico with these new .25-caliber hot-rods.  We talk through the various characteristics and strengths of each, and Colton supports his opinions with awesome stories about hunting Himalyan Tahr in giant mountains, Red Stags in hell-holes, and Coues Deer in vast deserts...

Double Tap Episode 444 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Gideon Optics, Primary Arms, Medical Gear Outfitters, Bowers Group, Mitchell Defense, and Flatline Fiber Co   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 444! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Anonymous Coward from Nebraska - Dear wls, I have a Mitchell defense bought the green grips to go with the green gun. What would be a good green butt stock or just put on purple butt stock? Still deciding on a flow-through can to put on it. Justin T - This question is for Shawn. In the early parts of Covid, you were going to have a medical class in Canton, Ohio. Ohio shut down so you canceled the class. If you come teach a class at Rivers edge tactical. Can the people that paid for the Canton class come to that one? Ps. A couple shows ago that you guys were talking about a volcanic action pistol I'm fairly certain I seen Tippmann ordnance the same company that has the Glock mag Gatling gun was gonna make a volcanic pistol chambered in .380 and 22lr Trucker Matt - Do any of the cast members have experience with IWA civilian-legal flashbangs, smoke grenades or any of their other products? I've been looking at them and thinking about buying some for "airsoft/paintball", and definitely not for SHTF reasons. Would love your input, or just general thoughts on them even if you have never used them. Thanks. Full-grown Human - Shawn stated that you didn't like we the people holsters, and I had never had any issues with them but I also didn't have to deal with the customer service side of them. I now have had to deal with their half-ass customer service and their subpar duty belts. My question is what issue did you have with them? I don't buy nearly enough guns or gear so I do like to take the advice of people who do. Aside from blue alpha do you have any other companies that the cast would recommend for a duty belt? I don't carry too much on my belt at work but I don't want this cheap made product. Amanda Hungnkiss - I was thinking about getting a Marlin in .357, but then they announced the 10mm model. As a 10mm fan, I was stoked to hear that, but also a bit confused about which one would be the better choice for overall power?Ammo cost isn't a big deal since I already have a 10mm pistol and a 357 revolver. So, which caliber marlin would you pick and why? Robbie R - Ok, hear me out. Gun Fights, but poll the listeners. EXAMPLE, Mitchell Defense rifle, suppressor, optic, maybe accessories. Each cast member makes a package, and listeners vote. Maybe Mitchell Defense offers it as a package. The winner of this week's swag pack is Anonymous Coward from Nebraska!

John's takeaway? Both cartridges overlap in their performance in certain areas, but the 22 Creedmoor is best used for predators and medium game while the 6.5 Creedmoor is ideal for medium and big game.
