The script is flipped today and Katherine Rice interviews Derrick Ratliff as part of a multi-part series about the 22 Creedmoor caliber. They discuss why it’s considered a “fringe” caliber in regards to stability factors related to temperature, altitude and barrel twist and the versatility of the caliber in relation to animal size and distance.
They discuss the beginnings of Horizon Firearms’ relationship with Hornady and how “honest” the caliber creation process has to be as it moves toward SAAMI approval (hint: big announcement in this episode!) Barrel length preferences, range of quality in rifle components, ELD-X v ELD-M bullet differences, ballistic coefficients and bullet RPMs are all part of this conversation as well.
If you’re new to the 22 Creedmoor caliber, this is a great episode to listen and learn.
Derrick and Kat also reminisce about when Donald Trump Jr. visited their booth at a trade show and recognized the Horizon Firearms brand, and around the 22 minute mark, the 22 question hot round is turned on Derrick - so tune in to hear about all of his favorites in life. Also, Derrick had a fantastic (sarcasm) parenting moment in this episode when he referred to his oldest son as 8 years old. Rhyder is actually 10, and we promise he knows that.
