Gosh, 2 more .22 cal bullets to consider for concealed carry. Let the conversation begin!

You'd have to be a tall person to conceal a rifle-length firearm that these two cartridge's are used in.

Is that you CC piece or are you just happy to see me.

I was just talking to someone the other day who was droning on and on about the .22 Creedmore. I can’t recall now who, but it was someone at work. He seemed to like his.

Just what the world needs is another .22 center fire

It's a modern equivalent to the .22 Newton that was designed and marketed ~100 yrs ago.

Good luck to them but it seems what’s old is new. The 22 CM looks like a new 22-250 which the 6.5 CM is a new 260 Rem which was a new 6.5x55 Swed

As the 357 Sig was a new 38 Super
On and on.

For me I’d probably just stick with a 22-250 but to each their own!

I love the parent cartridge of the 22-250, the 250 Savage but never developed any interest in the 22-250.
