2.85" is good for me. I have another 6mm build planned when I'm done with my training program at work, but I'd buy an off the shelf .243 Win if it had an 8 twist barrel throated for the majority of 105's to be close enough to kiss, and that will feed reliably at 2.8" COAL. An off the shelf .243 set up this way would save me a nice chunk of change in the long run.
I throated my last 7 twist .243 for 115's which it shot very well both Berger and DTAC, but I had an easier time stocking 105 Hornady and Berger bullets, which it shot equally as well but faster. The 6 Creed intrigues me but I'll probably go back with the .243 since I have piles of brass or give the BR a try. I'm just in the planning phase anyway, any parts collecting will be a few months off yet.
