The Fierce Firearms Dirtnap .22 Creedmoor 85.5gr ammunition represents a serious option for shooters who demand accuracy beyond 400 yards. Using Berger's Long Range Hybrid Target bullet at this weight puts you at the heavier end of what the .22 Creedmoor handles best. This is where the cartridge truly shines—the hybrid ogive design gives you both seating depth tolerance and aerodynamic efficiency, meaning your groups stay tight even when conditions shift.
Fierce loads these to match-grade standards with the tightest tolerances they can manage. You're getting premium brass, controlled powder charges, and that specific bullet weight working together. At 3200 fps, the 85.5gr Berger puts velocity right where reloaders report their best accuracy with this combination. The high ballistic coefficient keeps energy downrange—at 600 yards you're still flying fast and flat compared to lighter .22 centerfires.
This ammunition excels at predator hunting and varmint work where flat trajectory matters. The cartridge was engineered by necking down the 6.5 Creedmoor case to handle long, heavy bullets, and the 85.5gr Berger is exactly what that design was made for. Whether you're calling coyotes at distance or working prairie dogs beyond what most .22s can handle, this load delivers the precision that justifies the cartridge choice. The lighter recoil means you actually spot your impacts for follow-up shots, and the trajectory is about as flat as .22 caliber gets.
The 85.5gr Berger requires a 1:8 twist or faster. Most .22 Creedmoor rifles run either 1:7 or 1:8, both of which will stabilize this bullet properly. Always check your rifle's specifications if you're unsure—proper stabilization is what makes these heavier bullets print groups instead of stringing.
Yes, Fierce Firearms loads with quality brass that can be reloaded multiple times. After firing, the brass can be cleaned, sorted, and prepped like any other centerfire rifle ammunition. Many .22 Creedmoor shooters reload these cases to work up custom loads and stretch barrel life.
This is a match-grade load built for precision and accuracy, so it works best for predator hunting, varmint control, and target shooting where flat trajectory matters. For deer-sized game, hunting-specific bullets with controlled expansion are the better choice, though inside 300 yards with good shot placement this load can work if that's your intent.
The 85.5gr pushes the .22 Creedmoor to its ballistic ceiling with a very high BC bullet. Compared to lighter 60-70gr loads, you get superior energy retention at distance and less wind deflection, but you're also driving the barrel harder. This weight range is where experienced .22 Creedmoor shooters land when they want maximum range performance.
