I'd go with the Peterson, but plenty of guys have good luck with Lapua 6 CM necked down. One less step in the process. Can also fireform Lapua 22-250 brass, but it'll come out just a little short in the neck.
Alpha makes 22 Creed brass, but I haven't seen any for a while. Hornady as well.

would it be a safe assumption that I can load my 22-243 to same loads as my 22 creedmoor? Anyone have experience in this? How about my 22-250 ackley?
thanks John

It can’t do what the creed can do. Not a “bad” cartridge. Just not as good in my eyes.
Any insider info on when we can get access to OCD Alpha for creed? Inching closer to getting mine put together (just waiting on a barrel) and hoping to run that brass.
Almost broke down the other day to pick up 22GT OCD brass but held strong.
I've only shot 77tmk out my gun as they shoot very well: proven loads from a 22" 8tw on a Tikka using lapua 6cr necked down and turned for 4k chamber clearance:
42.6gr N555 @ 3385 fps
43.6gr RL23 @ 3410 fps
45.5gr rl26 @ 3470 fps
All cci450 primers seated -20k
All loads shoot tiny clusters at 100y and under half moa at 500y. This is a deer/antelope/coyote gun.

@Dogsniper obviously the 65gn sgk's worked, based upon the photo. How did they do on entrance & exit holes? I understand that 1 coyote is a far cry from field vetting, but curious what your thoughts are on that bullet performance. I have 500 of them and a new 20" 8tw 22cm coming for my son. Primary uses will be deer, yotes and hogs.
They work great . Couldn’t really see the entrance, exit was the size of a nickel-quarter. I think they are perfect for your intended use . I’ve shot coyotes and cats with them in 223.
My favorite thing is not having to worry about bullet splash when they hit bone. Unlike varmint bullets. Obviously that isn’t as fast as the creed. This dog was about 100 yards , bang flop.
I DON'T need another chambering, but damn some of the data here is IMPRESSIVE!
I might have to get myself an early Christmas present.

22 creedmoor is an excellent hunting/predator cartridge! It's a laser beam. I dont know if I'd run one in comps due to barrel life but if a guy were to do so, probably spin a few barrels at once. I've got 440 rounds on mine and surprisingly throat wear doesn't look that bad but I've been running rl23/rl26 and N555 for most my shooting. Not the typical 4350 burn rates. I don't get it hot, 3-5 shots and cool. The typical 257 neck reamers don't do well with lapua 6cm necked down, as cases will need turned, but 258-259nk works well.
works well with Hornady 6 cm, I had issues with hangfires using lapua 6cm small rifle primers also
I have only had 2 hang fires, rl26 in 10° weather oddly the velocity was only about 20fps slow and still landed sub moa in grouping.
yes it surprised me too, I wish I could find some rl26, I have switched to H4350 that I was saving for other CM chamberings.
My reamer is a .2575 neck and I run necked down Lapua 6.5 srp brass without any issues. but of course each rifle is different. I run Hornady brass when calling and I can loose pieces, and run Lapua when running on steel or deer hunting.
I've found lapua 6.5 creedmoor brass to be thinner than 6mm by a 001-0015 per side, so that does make sense.
Thats kinda what I though but I was able to slip a bullet with light resistance back into a 6.5mm case that wasn't turned, the 6mm I had to force a bullet in. Turned everything to 253 loaded neck diameter so 0145 per side. Good to go now in my 257 nk chamber tighter necks just cause pressure issues that aren't necessary. I'd rather have 6k clearance Than 3k.
n00g7, if you need brass for dummy rounds, I can ship you a few of my new neck-turned converted Lapua brass. Pm me an address if you want it.

4500 prices available in first run, sold out in a few hours. This is how this industry has become, make small runs nowhere near the demand of a product. Price is higher than lapua now too. The alpha prices used to be what drew me to them, now they gone the Midway approach.22 Creedmoor SRP (Small Rifle Primer) | Alpha Munitions

Ocd brass is good, but at the sacrifice to case capacity. Lapua holds more powder and is just as strong or stronger in case head than ocd. This is comparing non ocd 65cm srp, 65cm ocd lrp, and lapua SRP. I have nowhere near the gadgets as Primal just going on regular psi signs. I do love the fact alpha runs large flash hole in srp brass, I haven't had any hang fires in freeing to sub zero temps and cci450. Lapua I can't say that. I guess everyone has the right to spend their hard earned dollars where they please. I just think it's nuts to make such a small run for a very quickly growing cartridge. Everyone who shoots my 22cr either now has one, or is building one. GREAT round for deer to Prairie dogs.
They sold out in 10 minutes.
Are you aware how many pieces they are running in this batch? ... because I am, and you are so far from the truth its not even funny. They just had this much ready and didn't delay, they immediately put it up for sale to start getting it out as fast as they could. They should be thanked for that, not demonized.
Well alpha's is better, so it should be.
This brass is well within what I'd call standard capacity. It's not just good, its the best brass I've ever tested, in anything... ever.
Even if that were true... Why is more powder a good thing, when you can get the same velocity and hit the same nodes with less? There is no way possible that lapua has a stronger case head than this brass. Unless you can prove to me that you've received this new 22 creed OCD from alpha and tested it... there is no way you could even know that what you're saying is false. So why are you saying it? Based on my testing, Alpha OCD 22 Creedmoor is a massive improvement over lapua. Every American shooter should be thankful that we have an American manufacturer pushing this hard to solve this problem, and succeeding. Or do you like having ONE quality brass source in the entire world, and having that require importation?
By the way, does lapua have headstamped 22 creed? How about 6BRA? 6 Dasher? No, they don't. ... because only ALPHA MUNITIONS is listening to and then DOING what the serious American shooter wants. Given enough time, they will become more than the best brass manufacturer in the USA... they'll be be the best in the world. They just need to get their production quantities up, and they'll take that title.
Again, you simply are not in possession of the facts. They are doing a huge run. They just had the first batch out of QC and immediately put it up for sale.
Basically the only thing you've said that I agree with. I would strongly encourage you to calm down and stop disparaging one of our outstanding AMERICAN brass manufacturers with false statements. Alpha Munitions has advanced the manufacturing of brass beyond what I could have imagined. It's likely the most significant advancement in the precision rifle discipline within the last 100 years. If you don't know why, or how... feel free to give me a call anytime and I'll take you through it. Sorry if this seems like a rant against you, but please, consider the effects of your false statements.

Question: Do I care if I go with SRP or should I wait for LRP? They're essentially the same yes?
