243 is just fine. I wouldn’t turn down a nice 6 Creed, but don’t think there’s some huge gap between them.
I’ll probably be looking to upgrade my 243 in the not too distant future as mines a bit of a tank and shoots like it has an exceptionally slow twist. Loves the fast light mono’s though, so maybe it’s more about it’s bulk and weight.
I’ll probably set my sights on something a little less exotic than a Fieldcraft, even though I’d love to have one.
No gap at all really, just different strengths as usually configured. His FC is an exception to the usual setup. Be curious to see if the the throating will let him seat the long ones out.
Maybe I should just re-read JB's piece.
Maybe I should search for that. Would like to see what he had to say.
Already read his thoughts on the advantages of the 6.5 Creed over the Swede, and it does have some merit with the Creed’s standardized chamber, rim and brass in general.
Actually, the 6.5 Creedmoor probably makes the most sense for me if I was to make a change from the 243 altogether. As it’s become a mainstream cartridge with more availability of rifles and ammo than the 6(where I shop) while still maintaining some ease of shootability.
