What do you think?

It’s totally irrelevant though, isn’t it.

This circular argument keeps coming up. Oh but what if the .243 Winchester has a 8” twist barrel.

It doesn’t. No mainstream manufacturer has ever made a .243 Winchester with an 8” twist barrel.

That would be the end of the story where it not for the fact that a tiny tiny handful of people select a fast twist .243 Win aftermarket barrel. Which if I was the OP is what I would’ve done. But he didn’t. He went with the 1:10”.

So he is stuck with the comparison between the two, in this instance a 10” twist versus a 7½” twist. A lifetime of wondering what if?!

So it is the end of the story after all. It’s not about the brass receptacle that holds the powder. It’s about what length / weight bullet the barrel will shoot. The rest is just waffle.

Yes true I had forgotten the factory rifle point and that’s why I don’t normally bother with having a say ����

Can you even buy a factory 6mm Creedmoor in NZ currently? A quick internet search turned up only one retail option, costing $3900.
