[QUOTE="Swiftkill, post: 1656293, member: 104167"] I have 4 different 243s And 0 creedmore's. So I might be a little biased but I am biased due to experience with the 243 and the ballistics. If you are shooting in the real world which means not knowing your distance and not knowing the wind drift you want a flat shooting bullet. Heavy bullets heavy bullet blah blah blah. Speed kills. Hornet I factory ammo out of a 26" barrel 58 green V maxes are over 4000' per 2nd period how far do you really shoot? With a 1 in 10 twist my gun shoots quarter inch groups and I've killed prairie dogs out to 800 yd. Small Arizona prairie dogs the size of ground squirrels. Show me a 6.5 creedmore bullet that can vaporize something like a 58 gravy Max . So you're building a gun that might cost 1500 or 2000 or $3000 or more why not be able to use it for varmint hunting and big game hunting? You're not gonna shoot 200 rounds of 300 rounds to 6.5 creedmore at unknown distances for very long. Ooops, my bad...you asked about 6mm creedmore!!!
