[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2833352, member: 126985"] Yes, the 308 from the 6.8x 51 is easy. Mandrel up run through 308 die, check COAL. Done ... I am a 308 fan and have atleast 6 to choose from 18" to 30" barrels AR10 or bolt, with 12 to 8 twist...the #1 rifle and #1 load in the Krestrel is 200 gr SMK .715 bc g1 or .360 g7 2856 fps for the 308 Win and I have a bunch of capable cartridges, but the 308 win has done it for me for over 25 yrs of LR shooting, new components have improved its position. I only have 2 Creedmoors, and have used both cartridges in this experiment...but concentrating on the Creedmoor as a doner rifle, for the bulk of the experiment to check for accelerated barrel wear, as this has the only factory barrel, the rest have Bartlein and Proof barrels. This bi metal case improves the 6.5 Creedmoors position...alot...but at what cost...is it for me. I had actually given up on the 6.5 caliber as soon as the barrels and components are gone ...then I came across this new case development. I was personally going to cut calibers, 7mm is gone, 6.5 was next.
