Help with new long range varmint build

[Straight Shooter]

Trying to decide between a 6br and a 6mm creedmoor. Would like to hear your opinions.

That decision sounds to me like it would come down to ammo.

Do you want to have access to piles of good cheap match grade, (whatever that actually means) factory ammo, or do you enjoy being bent over a press?

I was thinking about that?

I'm actually still seeing 6 CM ammo on my dealer's shelves.
Finding reloading dies for anything is really hard right now

I'd be slightly inclined to go bra

Matt, please explain.

I'm a .243 and 6XC person. After lots of research the 6XC was what top competitors were using. The extra case volume allows for slow powders.

Matt, please explain.

Well the br line of cartridges are accurate beyond belief. Just super easy to tune, super efficient and better barrel life then the larger 6's. The creed is fantastic and love mine, but going to put together a bra together the second I'm done my upcoming build.

the benefit of the creed over the br is the velocity. The negative is the recoil, barrel life and powder consumption when the market is light on powder. The benefit of the br over the creed is the lighter recoil (easier to spot shots), insane accuracy, and significantly more efficient.

the bra slides in between. Gaining a 100-200fps more then the br, but 100-250'less then the creed, barely any more powder then the br, more barrel life and potential accuracy over the creed, and now factory brass.

Thanks Matt.

Thanks Matt.

Best of luck on your build and your decision. It's always a tough one. Just wrapping up my varmint rifle right now. The creed is my back up/longer range vsrmint rifle but not the main.
