[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1355411, member: 27307"] The 6mm Creedmoor is the cartridge that the .243 Win. should have been had Winchester actually known what they doing during the design phase of the .243 Win. The 6mm Creedmoor is the continued evolution of the 'improved' cartridges over the factory designs from yesteryear. It has the right case capacity, the proper shoulder for a good range of powders for efficient powder consumption and it's short enough to allow for the longer heavier bullets to be seated out, freeing up case capacity for performance. There is some exceptionally good factory ammunition available. You can convert Peterson Cartridge Company 6.5 Creedmoor with the small primer pocket by necking down to the 6mm Creedmoor. Yes, you could do the same thing with the Lapua or Peterson .308 Win. cases for the .243 Win. but it takes more steps and more work. Why bother creating an 'also ran' cartridge when the better one is so easy to make. ;):D In reality, we are fortunate to have such a good selection of 6mm cartridges to cover every adventure we choose to take part in. There is nothing wrong with any of them so long as you have the confidence in your choice to perform up to your needs. Regards. [/QUOTE]
