What does the 6CM have over a 243, bbl configurations aside?
Nice rifle, BTW.
Faster twist factory barrel, can shoot the longer heavier high BC Vld's that a factory 243 would not be able to.
Out of all the Creedmoor offerings, this one actually makes the most sense and offers some legitimate benefits.
..... as mentioned, bbl configurations aside.![]()
I'm a bit of a skeptic on the twist rate story with the 243 Winchester and the 244 Remington, the 280 Remington also flopped 2 years after the 244. Winchester outsold Remington something like 4:1 across the board.
At the time, Winchester sold significantly more rifles in all calibers and had more prestige than Remington.
Tod, what is your oal with the Barnes?
