Description
Fierce Firearms built the Dirtnap line to deliver match-grade consistency right out of the box. Every round of this .22 Creedmoor 77-grain load is hand-loaded in-house to tolerances that beat factory standards, targeting a velocity spread under 10 fps. That kind of consistency makes the difference between groups that open up and groups that stay tight downrange.
What Makes This Dirtnap Load Stand Out
The 77-grain Barnes LRX bullet was developed specifically for long-range work. Its monolithic copper construction, polymer tip, and boat tail design combine to give you excellent ballistic coefficient and a predictable expansion pattern on game. At 3,325 fps from Fierce's test barrel, this round maintains the velocity needed to keep wind drift minimal even at extended distances. The LRX opens into four cutting petals on impact, creating a wide wound channel while retaining its mass for penetration.
Match-Grade Precision Without the Handloading
This ammunition eliminates the guesswork that comes with mass-produced factory loads. While standard factory ammunition shows velocity spreads of 50 fps or more, Dirtnap rounds ship with velocities within 10 fps of each other. That tight consistency compounds into better accuracy at distance and more reliable terminal performance. You get the benefits of handloaded precision without storing powder, primers, and dies.
Performance at Distance
The .22 Creedmoor with a 77-grain LRX bullet works well for long-range predator hunting, target shooting to 1,200 yards, and precision applications where trajectory and wind management matter. The flat trajectory and low recoil let you stay on target for follow-up shots, while the ballistic coefficient minimizes wind drift compared to lighter .22 options.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this hand-loaded Dirtnap ammunition and standard factory ammo?
Fierce Firearms loads Dirtnap ammunition in-house to match-grade tolerances, targeting a velocity spread under 10 fps between rounds. Standard factory ammunition typically shows velocity variations of 50 fps or more. That consistency translates directly to tighter groups and more reliable performance at distance, especially when you're shooting beyond 500 yards.
Will the 77-grain LRX work for hunting?
The Barnes LRX is designed as a hunting bullet and works well for predator hunting out to extended ranges. The monolithic copper construction ensures deep penetration while the controlled expansion creates a wide wound channel. Just make sure to match your shot placement and distance to the game you're pursuing—the LRX excels at predator distances but isn't designed for larger game applications.
What twist rate does my rifle need for this load?
The 77-grain LRX is stable in 1:7 and 1:8 twist barrels, though a 1:7 is recommended for optimal performance. If you're building a new rifle or aren't sure of your barrel's twist rate, check with the manufacturer or a gunsmith before ordering to make sure your setup will stabilize this bullet properly.
How far can I shoot this load accurately?
With proper shooting technique and a quality optic, this load maintains sub-MOA accuracy to 1,000+ yards. The flat trajectory and minimal wind drift of the .22 Creedmoor make it effective for target shooting and predator hunting at any range within ballistic reason. Your limiting factors will be your rifle, optic, and shooting skills rather than the ammunition.
