Fierce Firearms developed the Dirtnap ammunition line specifically to unlock the full potential of the .22 Creedmoor cartridge. This is proprietary ammo loaded in-house at Fierce's facility in Redmond, Utah, combining handpicked Hornady ELD-M bullets with precision brass and carefully selected powders for consistency that rivals custom handloads.
The 80-grain ELD-M bullet is the sweet spot for the .22 Creedmoor platform. At 3250 fps from a 22-inch barrel, this loading provides the ballistic coefficient and velocity needed for true long-range work. The ELD-M design features Hornady's Heat Shield tip and patented DVRT technology to minimize drag variation, keeping bullets stable and grouping tight out past 1000 yards. Expect only 36.6 inches of drop at 500 yards with a 200-yard zero, making wind management and elevation calls straightforward even at extended distances.
This ammo lives up to the Dirtnap name through tight tolerances on every component. Fierce loads each cartridge with uniform powder charges, premium brass, and reliable primers to ensure round-to-round consistency that translates into smaller groups and more predictable performance on steel. The 80-grain bullet weight sits right where most .22 Creedmoor builds shine, offering excellent stability from standard 1:8 twist barrels while maintaining energy retention past 400 yards.
Unlike mass-produced factory ammunition, Dirtnap rounds are developed with the rifle platform in mind. Fierce engineers this load specifically for their fast-twist barrels and match-grade chamber specs, so you're getting ammunition built by the same people who designed the rifles. Every box represents field-proven accuracy backed by a manufacturer that lives and breathes long-range precision.
Yes, this load works for varmint hunting and predator control where the 80-grain ELD-M's ballistic performance shines. For larger game, shot placement on vital areas is critical at extended ranges. The ELD-M is a precision match bullet rather than an expanding hunting bullet, so it delivers straight-line penetration rather than rapid expansion.
The listed 3250 fps muzzle velocity is from a 22-inch barrel. You'll see some velocity variation depending on your actual barrel length. Shorter barrels will produce lower velocities while longer barrels can push slightly higher numbers. This is normal and something to account for when working up data or confirming zero at distance.
A 1:8 twist is the standard for .22 Creedmoor builds and handles the 80-grain bullet perfectly. Some shooters use 1:7 twist for flexibility with heavier match bullets, but 1:8 is ideal for this specific load. Make sure your barrel specs match before purchasing to ensure proper bullet stabilization.
Dirtnap is hand-loaded in-house at Fierce Firearms specifically for their barrels and chamber specifications. This proprietary approach delivers tighter tolerances on powder charges, primer seating, and overall consistency compared to mass-produced factory ammo. The goal is custom handload performance straight out of the box without the time investment of reloading.
