[QUOTE="tuscan, post: 2140661, member: 90621"] One more vote for the 6 creed. I used a 6.5 creed for a season, then went to 6 creed. The roughly 40grain difference in bullet weight results in noticeably lower recoil. This really makes recoil management easier, and though it can be argued that we should work on better positions to accomplish that, when you are in matches with 90 second time limits and which require shooting from more than one position, less recoil helps. An upside to the 6 creed that I had not considered is how similar the ballistics are to my hunting rifles; a 7mm rem mag and 6.5 prc. Out to about 600 yards, the elevation and windage solutions are nearly identical for 7mm rem mag Hornady precision hunter, 6.5 prc Hornady match, and 6mm creed Hornady match. For me, that simplifies things. Another consideration is a 223 trainer. Great fun to shoot and inexpensive, with super long barrel life. Those have limitations in matches though, esp in windy conditions and over 500 yards when impacts can be hard to spot. [/QUOTE]
