Ok I'm kinda tired so not gonna be as lengthy as my other lil reloading, things ... But hay folks say they enjoy reading about me bumbling around with this crap so heres another one
Long story short thought .22 Creedmore seemed cool. Heavy weight .22 cals going really fast , and all that and and yes I know if you just get a custom fast twist .22-250 ......since I don't have a gunsmith and I'm kinda don't wanna wait 3-10 weeks for a custom barrel I just tossed the idea on the balcony burner till someone dropped a semi affordable creed or fast twist 250 barrel .... Well SHAW dropped there 1:8 .22 Creedmore AR10 barrels first so yeah . Was like $240 shipped from there black Friday sale

Decided to just dona barrel swap with my AR10 so all I bought was the barrel , a muzzle break , bullets since I'm about out of heavier stuff , and dies
So here's the barrel . Idk what to think anymore because I used to be told shaw was pretty good but now I'm getting told if I want something half decent I gotta go with McCowgen bar minimum.... Idk I think people just move the goal post every few months to feel better about their credit card debt or something..... Most of my builds are running $80 to $130 barrels and they put shoot a lot of these jack wagons I see on Facebook and the like so idk .
Anyhow looks pretty nice out the box , good packaging

As far as the "build" .... Egh if y'all seen any of my past posts it was basically that , just took apart my BCA 6.5 creed side charger slid the new barrel in with a little of that green loctite retaining stuff on the extension to bed it like I did on my .22 ARC and just threw everything back on. This barrel uses the same ....well everything really my creed did so yeah 10min total once I got the tools out

I completely forgot to buy some crush washers for the muzzle break and can't find any that fit so honoill probably just go and get a small crush washer from eh hardware store in the morning and use that .
Far as reloading stuff . Got some hornady 75's and a box of these 77gr factory seconds . Eveyone's been talking me there just cosmeticly off looking SMK and they usually shoot just as good so I said why not . Lee dies and starline 6.5 creed brass .. because apparently it's stupid easy to form .22 creed brass from this stuff and I wanted to try it .... Also I may have removed the .22 creed from the cart instead of this when I was ordering lol.. either way there we go....
