[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2843925, member: 73596"] Well, since I've had both of the cartridges referenced as well as a 6x284, and 6 dasher, and 6CM. I rechambered the 243 win to a 6 dasher and it shoots very well after thousands of rounds, and I sold the 6CM because both the 6GT and the Dasher out performed it from an accuracy standpoint (not due to cartridge). I can say that my 243 was lights out with 105 Hybrids, in an 8 twist barrel. This simply comes down to choice. 6GT brass is readily available, don't let anyone tell you differently. CCI 450s have been much more available than other large rifle primers, like you would have to use in a 243 case. And yes, there is no doubt that the 6GT is more efficient. You will cover the cost of the additional brass and dies in a jiffy based on the reduced powder charge, and the extended barrel/case life that you get. If you go really rogue and sell your 243 Win stuff, the economics of look even better. There is no wrong decision, as far as I am concerned. [/QUOTE]
