At Rifle Guru, we live and breathe long‑range shooting, precision reloading, and premium rifle setups. We’re excited to bring you a deep dive into two essential rifle‑related topics that many shooters ask about: our Brass Prep and Bullet Seating Class and finding the right 22 Creedmoor rifle for sale. Whether you’re new to reloading or shopping for a capable rimfire rig, this blog delivers real insight and practical next steps.
About Our Brass Prep and Bullet Seating Class
We offer a hands‑on workshop designed to teach precise brass cleaning, trimming, chamfering, and bullet seating to tight tolerances. In our friendly, small‑group setting, you’ll bring your own brass or use ours and learn to build ammunition that consistently shoots tight groups. We guide you through every step we do it too when loading for matches or personal plinking.
Why Brass Prep Matters
I’ve shot thousands of rounds in competition and hunting, and inferior brass prep is often the culprit behind inconsistent velocity and vertical stringing. Proper trimming to length, uniform deburring, and case inspection help reduce chamber pressure variations and seating depth inconsistencies. The result? Tighter groups and peace of mind.
Bullet Seating Techniques You’ll Master
Bullet seating isn’t just shoving a projectile into a case it’s about consistent seating depth, bullet run‑out checks, and correct crimp tension. We teach you:
- Setting seating depth off the lands for optimal accuracy
- Inspecting concentricity with a dial indicator
- Light vs. heavy taper crimp depending on application
All practice is supervised. You’ll walk away confident in producing repeatable ammo because when we load, we expect tight sub‑MOA groups.
Considering a 22 Creedmoor Rifle for Sale? Here’s What to Look For
The 22 Creedmoor has earned a reputation as a premier long‑range rimfire choice. With effective ranges beyond typical. 22 LR platforms, it delivers flatter trajectories and consistent ballistics. Here’s what we recommend when shopping:
- Barrel quality: Prefer a button‑, cut‑, or hammer‑forged barrel with rifling optimized for 40–52‑grain bullets.
- Action type: Bolt actions with crisp single‑stage triggers are best. Smooth feeding and reliable ejection are non‑negotiable.
- Stock and bedding: Free‑float barrels and glass bedding help accuracy.
- Availability: Check whether the rifle is natively chambered versus aftermarket conversion kits.
When you search for a 22 Creedmoor rifle for sale, compare features side‑by‑side. We often reference brand offerings from trusted manufacturers and mention used options—but always inspect and test before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is included in the Brass Prep and Bullet Seating Class?
You’ll learn full brass prep: trimming, deburring, chamfering, and case cleaning; and bullet seating techniques with concentricity checks, seating depth strategies, and crimping. We provide tools or you can bring your own.
2. How long is the class and who teaches it?
Our workshop is typically half a day (4–5 hours) in a small group. It’s led by Jeff Ostrom (owner/founder) or a senior certified instructor with match‑grade experience.
3. How can I find a good 22 Creedmoor rifle for sale?
Search reputable dealers and private‑sale forums; prioritize rifle condition, matching ammunition availability, and accuracy reports. Ask for velocity and group data if available.
4. Is .22 Creedmoor better than .22 LR for long range?
Yes, 22 Creedmoor offers consistent velocity, flatter trajectories, and better performance beyond 200 yards. 22 LR is inexpensive but less precise at extended ranges.
5. Do you recommend renting gear before purchasing?
Unlike rental sites, we believe owning and learning deeply is better for serious shooters. Renting can help test equipment briefly, but our emphasis is long‑term skill development and precision.
