    I’ve been shooting the 243 Winchester Cartridge for many years.
    Now shooting the 6mm Creedmoor. The 6mm Creedmoor 112 gr match ammo bucks the wind at 800 yards and beyond better than anything the 243 Winchester has ever produced and it will feed better out of a detachable mag.
    My 700 Remington with a Broughton 6mm Creedmoor Barrel is the most accurate rifle I have ever shot. .37″ to .78″ depending on ammo consistantly with Commercial ammo. I’ve never had a 243 that would even get close with Commercial ammo.
    Hail to the Creedmoor Rifles!!

    The 260 Remington shoots just fine from an AR platform. Just as good if not better than my 6.5 Creedmore. And you can reload easily from .243 brass, 7MM08 brass and with little effort the 308 it originally came from. And duplicate the 6.5 Creedmore or sometimes better it. My.243 shoots just fine with 100 grain bullets from the AR platform, so my question is, WHY the new cartridge? The answer is of course just so we have another toy to play with. Now all that said, the author was shooting 108 grain bullets. How is that better than a 243? All that being said I have just put together a .244 Valkyrie to shoot 108 grain bullets. Why? Best new toy out there, and ALL the same things the author talks about and even better it does it from the smaller AR15 platform. Might turn out to be more than just another toy in my “toy box”. (What my wife calls my gun room) Now my question again. Why? I understand the reason for the .224 Valkyrie with 108 grain bullets, but why the 6MM Creedmore what possible “significant” difference does it make if your only shooting 108 grain bullets?

    the creedmores are for the ar crowd,,otherwise in a bolt action,they are beat by many other cartridges,,,,,nothing wrong with the 6mm reminton or 243, put a faser twist barrel on either and you have a better cartridge,,,,but am told by the few in now who have the 6.5 creedmore in ar,s, they are not reliable feeders like the 308,,,,the sharp shoulder is a problem

    Well, you all are still learning,, but meaning no offense to you all,, but you have over looked the greatests round that was ever devleoped and with Berger Ammo VLD / HMR you can not beat it / good muzzle brake and keep it cleaned well, you have the greatest caliber ever made for Sniping,, Hunting, etc…… Do some research and you will be amazed, but be sure you understand how to do all the math it takes to make a perfect shot with wind, differnt temps, elevations, shooting up from level, shooting down from level,, the earths rotation etc…. Read and learn,, become a Master at the things you are attempting to know… and remember ” Safety Depends on you ” Quote from ‘Ryan Cleckner’ – one of the best ! ! !

    Eric, I wish to H-E-double-L you would stop putting unfired ammunition on
    DIRT to photograph it – as you did both in this article and the one on Ruger’s Preision Rifle.

    So, 6mm Creedmoor ……. Though it may be great, especially for the AR enthusiast, I’m just going to wait for the 5.5mm MoreCreedmoor ! Whatever you choose, at least Hillary won’t be president and you can enjoy your freedom to have a new rifle, or an old one.

    I have a custom built 98 Mauser in 6 m/m Remington with a Hart barrel, McMillan stock & Timney trigger that will shoot better than .5 MOA. It has been my experience that the .243 will shoot almost as good as the 6 m/m Remington most of the time, but rarely better. I see the 6 m/m Creedmore as part of an ongoing campaign of the firearms industry in general to keep us, the gun and ammunition public buying more guns and ammo. Witness the recent WSM & WSSM series of cartridges along with the RUM series. Of all those cartridges combined, how many have made the cut? Pity the poor fellow with the .223 WSSM rifle looking for ammo at Walmart . . . Or just about anywhere for that matter. The 6.5 Creedmore made quite a splash upon introduction and it seems to have taken hold, for the moment anyway, but only time will tell on that. The 6 m/m Creedmore? Maybe/maybe not. We shall see, even though I remain unconvinced that it will shoot better than my 6 m/m Remington. But with all that said, I’ve gotta say that the 6 m/m Remington has been a tried & true winner for me, going back to the late 70s when I bought my first Remington 788 in that caliber. If it ain’t broke why fix it?

    Always thought the 6.5 was descended from the 6.5 x 55 Krag of the late 1890s. My 1914 Krag Jorgensen 6.5 x 55 is an awesome long range flat trajectory shooter with a big punch. Guess I’m just another gun dummy non-expert.
