Out of curiosity what are the caliber restrictions on these courses/competitions? I've used every conceivable type of action on a firearm over the course of my life and I always fall back to bolt and semi depending on my situation. The idea of using a 6mm Creedmore in a bolt for several different types of training and competition really piques my interest. I've been considering building one anyways and this would put me over the top.
This could be used for SR, although that is way more scope than needed. Recoil with .308 would be a disadvantage for rapid fire strings or if rapid pairs are fired.Originally Posted by Farris Bueller
Waaay too much scope and ammunition for CQB. It is all close range.
Depending on CoF, a rather large number of rounds may be fired.
CQB is close range, tends to be rapid fire. Lots of reasons for .223 to be popular. As mentioned above, 7.62x39 has also been used.
6mm Creedmore would certainly work for SR. Often your brass will be left behind, depending on the CoF. Might or might not be able to recover it, depending on the match program.
Beside the actual merits of the cartridge, if you plan to shoot at some Military ranges they can have very particular restrictions. Make sure you check with MDs of the orgs you plan to shoot with.
That certainly can be a factor. Some DND ranges list specific approved calibers.
IIRC at CFB Borden, one of the approved calibers is 30-30...might make for an interesting rifle match. As for bolt guns .223 would be the most economical option that fits on the approved caliber list.

The Antis are after ALL of your firearms. NONE of them are “safe”.
Wake up Canada!!.
I completely agree with this sentiment.
By altering course of fires to artificially make bolt guns competative (in these 2 disciplines, they're just not) we're supporting the argument that "no one needs those for sporting use." shooting an airsoft rifle or a .22 for CQB makes more sense to me than an altered course of fire for bolt guns.
Maybe the politicians don't but the courts may. It's baked into the firearms code that if it has a sporting use it can't be prohibited. (Thanks to DCRA back in the 70's.)
That isn't exactly what the "firearms code" says.
But it is one one of the arguments in a current court challenge. We'll get to see if it has any weight.
The AR has been used for competitive shooting for decades. The proof is there.
At this moment, your AR will be locked up for 2 years before it is collected and destroyed. You cannot legally use it for anything. Unless the court challenges are able to reverse the OIC, or there is an election and a change in government.
In the meantime, you can sit at home, or you can get out and shoot.
