[QUOTE="Jungleexplorer, post: 1656315, member: 56322"] I am a hunter. I say this first because there is a difference between a Hunting shooter and a Competition shooter. I want to make it clear that I am not a competition shooter. That way I can avoid confusion by having to deal with those people who are never satisfied with the accuracy of the gun, no matter how precise. I have hunted for 40 years from the Arctic to the Amazon. I have shot many hunting rifles. I have been successful with all of them. But my preferred caliber is the .243. It has the power and accuracy to accomplish just about everything a good hunting rifle should. In my experience, it is the most accurate caliber for hunting right out of the box. I have never shot a .243 that could not shoot sub MOA at 100 yards with little effort (with the right ammo of course). I have killed more than 100 large game animals with the .243 in my 40 years of hunting at up to 300 yards. It has never taken more than one shot and I have never pulled the trigger on an animal with a .243 and that I have not killed and recovered the animal I was shooting at. Not once. I have never had the chance to shoot the 6mm creedmore, so I can't comment on it. Like every other rifle, it will probably do just fine for hunting. As far as hunting goes, the .243 is a tried and true round and I really don't see the need in the market for the 6mm Creedmore, since it is practically the same exact round. I think there are just too many people with engineering degrees trying to make a name for themselves by reinventing the wheel and giving it another name. .243 or 6mm Creedmore. Six of one, half a dozen of another. Both provide about the same ballistic performance and hit what you are aiming at. [/QUOTE]
