I got my new build back, scope mounted, tested a few loads and just waiting to finalize a few things. Rifle is built on a kelbly atlas tactical action, 27" bartlein 7.5 twist bbl chambered in 6mm creed, manners t5 stock, tt diamond trigger, badger bottom metal, heathen multical brake. Rifle was built by the boys over at insite arms and they did a hell of a job! Mounted up a Nikon black fx
1000 just to test loads while waiting for my razor to arrive. Razors now long and rifles pretty much ready to go!

Fired 2 pretty little 5 shot groups at 100 yards. .181 and .264" with the 105 hybrids at 3101fps with an S.D. of 6.9

Got to be a 6mm creed. A .243 will not do those speeds without being way hot OR its a Improved version.

Very nice!! Makes me want to do a 6mm build again!
 
Thank you! So far I've been really like it!! Loving the caliber! Use to shoot a 243 win for years and after selling it I wanted another 6mm

I had a Savage 26" .243 Win that would do 3100 fps all day long with 105 Berger Hunting VLD bullets. I got there with RL22 and Retumbo and CCI 250 primers. I also got there with PP 4000MR and the 105 A-Max.

I am sure you did. It can be done but in most cases its hot. Most all case its hot. Your 26" barrel will help out in the speed end of things. And depending on how its throated that to will help.

Alliant claims 3000 fps for max charge with 24" barrel and the 105 Amax and 4000MR. But we know not every gun is the same. some guns run hot with loads data like that and other have less pressure then what the load data shows.

Try some RL26 and you will pick up speed with less pressure.
 
243 lapua brass holds 2-3gr more than 6 creed. I'd think if you have the room in mag to load the bullet out in neck to limit case protrusion, it'll outperform the creedmoor case.
