6mm Creedmoor - A Very Interesting Cartridge

[AggieJim]

A good comparison may well be the .243 vs. 6mm Creedmoor. This is a good discussion with these two cartridges.

There are rifles, ammo, and reload data available in several styles. The caliber is a precision round with excellent accuracy. It will function as a great long range caliber and in almost every case outperform a .243.

It is definetely worth looking at for long or short range, excellent accuracy, & lower recoil.
