Thread: 6mm Downsides

Gidday - I've been pondering options but can't get to a decision (I'm an expert procrastinator/prevaricator and always make things more complicated than they need to be - says my wife).

I have a single shot's in 22K Hornet and 218 Bee but hardly ever use them, seems they get passed when I grab a 22 RF.

However I still feel the need for a centre fire varmint rifle that I'll actually use, and have procrastinated over buying a bolt action 222 or 223

I was thinking of building a 6mm Crudmoor that will be a fast twist, light varmint rifle and double as a "gong gun" and have mostly assembled the parts to do it (post procrastination you might say).

So apart from burning a wee bit more powder in a 6mm, are there any other downsides that I need to consider if I drop my quest for a 222/223 and just use the 6mm ??
