    85gn plus 224 hunting projectile performance

    Hello folks

    Ive got an 18" 1:7 twist barrel. It was supposed to be headed to a 223 but I'm having second thoughts.

    My modelling shows a 22 Creedmoor will get 3050-3100 with 85/88s at the muzzle, with about 2200 fps and 1000fpe left at 500M. Hard not to like that.

    But how about projectile performance at those velocity ranges - anybody got experiences with these "super heavies) on deer, tahr etc?
