[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3039461, member: 11459"] Of those 3 I’d pick either the GT or dasher and I’d lean towards the dasher for the increased barrel life since you’re looking for low powder consumption and barrel life. It burns about 20% less powder in the same bore diameter than the GT. I’d also consider just a straight 6BR. You could also go with a 223 and burn less powder, have even better barrel life and shoot cheaper bullets and accomplish the same thing. I wouldn’t even consider the 6 creed for high volume. You’re burning 10gr+ more powder and on a high volume rifle you’re going to get 1200 rounds or so before velocity starts falling off and it starts throwing shots at distance. 6x47L is almost the same way as far as barrel life and is by far the most finicky round I’ve ever loaded for.
