Small stamps. You can "correctly mark" your own brass. - dan

So will your new Creed 6 be a critter hunter or paper puncher? Never thought much about the cartridge prior to reading this thread, but it seems pretty interesting.

I'm building as a a Deer - Predator rifle - It will only be about 5 1/2 lbs without the scope or rings - Prob 6 1/2 lbs ready to Shoot - RJ

Glad you made the decision. I've been debating with myself on the merits of a 6 Creedmoor or a 22-250AI fast twist. Need to make the decision soon.

I own a 22-250 AI. Good cartridge, but it isn't legal for deer sized game. Except in BC. - dan

It would be legal for deer here in NB as well.

And in Ontario...

I don't even own a 22-250 anymore. Replaced it with a .223 and 6CM. I'd pick the 6 for deer any day of the week over the 22-250.

For deer, I would definitely choose a 6mm over a .22 cal, but I would also choose a 6.5mm over a 6mm... after 6.5mm it does not make much of a difference. I still own a .22-250, but I am a bit of a .22 cal fan.... I currently shoot .22 KH, .222, .223, .22 PPC, .22-250, .220 Swift and am in the process of rebarrelling my shot-out .22 TTH.

Our biggest problem right now is finding bullets once we run out of our current stash.

I am still finding bullets, but can see the shortages coming from low distributor inventories. Fortunately, I stocked up on most calibers that I am shooting... for hunting I could be good for life, but being a range rat, I will shoot my range supply in a couple years.

If you go fir a 224 cal why not go 22 Creedmoor - there’s PROPER headstamped brass for it ? RJ

Also no waste of powder bullets primers and barrel life fire forming !

ONLY makes sense the 22 CM over the AI ! JMO

We agree then.

That was me agreeing... long form.

We. ALL Agree ! Life is Good ! RJ
