A Big Niche
It’s great that Hornady has answered the call of others who were competing with the .25 Creedmoor in a wildcat form. With its 1:7.5 twist, it will handle very aerodynamic bullets and shoot right with the 6.5 Creedmoor at distance. However, the real appeal of this cartridge calls back to the true forte of the quarter-bore cartridge, which is dual-purpose use on varmints and big game. It will shoot light bullets that the 6.5 Creedmoor cannot, and it will shoot heavier bullets that are too much for the 6mm Creedmoor.
A Hot Rod .22 for the 21st Century!
Based on the legendary 6.5 Creedmoor, this cartridge was engineered for accuracy and speed. By utilizing today’s long, sleek, high‑performance bullets, the 22 Creedmoor delivers ultra‑flat trajectories, minimal wind deflection, and exceptional long‑range performance. Not only is this round the new predator hunting king, it is equally capable when pursuing small and medium game. With low recoil and high velocity, the 22 Creedmoor is an incredible cartridge for a variety of hunting and long‑range target shooting tasks.
