The .22 Creedmoor, is a SAAMI-standardized rimless tapered bottleneck rifle cartridge released by Hornady in 2024. It is a necked-down 6.5mm Creedmoor that holds 0.224-inch-diameter bullets.[1]

The cartridge was designed for varmint hunting, deer‑sized game and long‑range target shooting.[2]

The .22 Creedmoor is known for its high muzzle velocity and relatively flat trajectory, characteristics that make it well suited for long-range shooting with reduced wind drift.
