Description
.22 Creedmoor 70 grain Barnes TSX (lead-free)– The .22 Creedmoor is a necked down version of the 6.5 Creedmoor to a .224 bullet. It was pioneered by Derrick Ratliff in 2023.
The .22 Creedmoor has exceptional speed, is super flat shooting and has very minimal wind drift at extended distances. The caliber is an excellent choice for small to mid-sized game animals, and perhaps one of the most lethal predator rounds available with performances exceeding even the 22-250 and 220 Swift. This caliber is a pleasure to shoot, with minimal recoil. With velocities exceeding 3,300 fps with an 80 grain bullet, the round delivers nearly 1,000 foot pounds of energy still at 500 yards, making some consider it to be an adequate deer rifle as well.

The Bullet:
100-PERCENT COPPER BODY
Since its introduction in 2003, Barnes’ TSX Bullet has earned a reputation as “the perfect hunting bullet.” This lead-free, 100% copper-constructed bullet provides extreme penetration every time. Typically, this premium hunting bullet retains 100% of its original weight even after smashing through dense tissue and heavy bone. The Triple – Shock bullet design incorporates a series of precisely positioned rings cut into the bullet’s body. These grooves relieve firing pressure, allowing the TSX to be safely loaded to higher velocities while reducing copper fouling. The bonus is that this is one of the most accurate hunting bullets you can buy.
