Thread: 6mm Creedmoor vs 243

Would you consider 6mm Remington? About 100 - 200 fps faster than 243 and more foot pounds of energy. Then you have two of the American family Remington.

Most factory 6mm Rem where slow twist and didn't like the heavier 6mm pills.

This is not correct, if it is a factory 6mm Remington, its a 1-9 twist or there about, the 6mm Remington was first called a .244 Remington and was 1-12 twist and wont stabilize over about 90gr bullets, after a thrashing in sales, by the winchester.243, the .244 was renamed the 6mm Remington and had a 1-9 twist, by then the .243 win, was firmly entrenched in the 6mm bore as favorite,
