[QUOTE="geocodyrgia, post: 1796468, member: 98212"] Bought a Ruger Precision but went 6 Creed because I felt the case capacity of the Creedmoor was a better fit for a 110-ish weight bullet than a 140 and as bullet technology advances I expect them to get HEAVIER for caliber not lighter. I've never owned a .243 but the 6 Creed has been a great little round for me. Rediculously accurate out of the box for a factory gun and I've been running 108 ELD's since I got it. Will probably be getting a new barrel for it before next year and plan to go to the 115 DTAC's and ADG brass when I switch barrels, but the Hornady brass and 108 ELD's still shoot better than I can. 100 pieces of Hornady brass with probably 6 loadings on them now have only had the primer pockets loosen up in about 10-12 of them and I ran it pretty darn hard looking for top end pressure in a couple different powders. All-in-all, the 6 Creed is good enough I'll probably rebarrel the RPR to a Criterion 6 Creed Match pre-fit when the time comes. [/QUOTE]
