[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1039072, member: 27307"] jfseaman, First, it is the 6mm Creedmoor because it is now a stand alone SAAMI cartridge. Second, your statement indicates a total lack of experience with this cartridge or you would not have made it. This cartridge is a new design, an improvement over the .243 Winchester. Just because they both have approximately the same capacity does not mean that they perform the same nor that they burn powder the same when in fact they don't. The 6mm Creedmoor outperforms the .243 Win. because of design. In fact, [IMG]http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/6mm_Creedmoor_statistics.jpg[/IMG] Whole teams of competitive shooters are competing with this cartridge and are seeing 3,000 rounds or better under competitive, high volume shooting environments. Who knows how many the average sport shooter will get when a longer time line is available. Note that the 6x47 Lapua is also a fine, accurate cartridge but does not have the velocity that the 6mm Creedmoor has. This does not take away from the fact that it is a fine cartridge, it's just not as fast. Regards. [/QUOTE]
