[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2926909, member: 8394"] The 22 Creedmoor is a little north of 50 grains case capacity (looks like an average of my data puts it at 52 grains.) To put that in perspective a 22-250 ai is about 46 grains h20 and a 223 wssm is 55. Putting it squarely on the hot rod side of 223 rounds. While life can be mitigated with moderate load and powder selection, it's still hotrod and comes with a price. 6mm creed, lands about middle of the pack. At most upper middle, it's not radically overbore essentially a modern brass version of a 243. If I were a betting man having used cartridges around the two, I'd bet 800-1000 rounds for the 22 and 1600-2000 for the 6. Obviously lots of variables factor in, barrels are a lot like rear tires. The driver can play a big role... [/QUOTE]
