[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1899390, member: 13732"] The ballistic chart above showing the 6 creed blowing the 243 out the water is wonky. Load the 243 and 6 creed to same pressure with the same freebore, and 243 out runs it. More case capacity, simple as that. Now a 6creed shines the in availability of many types of high BC match ammo for cheap prices. And the coal is shorter than 243 with heavy bullets loaded out. Off the shelf 243 are slow twist for lighter bullets, all 6creed come from 7-8 twist allowing you to utilize the heavies. Modern cartridges have evolved and most manufacturers have evolved the rifles with them. The old classics are still stuck in the rifle configuration from 2 decades ago. [/QUOTE]
