So with this fast twist .243 with longer magazine, how does it compare with a 6 Creed? A bit longer mag to take advantage of the slight increase in powder space. Assume that this 243 would be everything that a 6 Creed would be?
The limitations of 99% of factory 243 rifles include twist and mag constraints (2.825” or so in Rem SA). The FC benefits from suffering neither of those. Most 6 CM rifles from the factory have the twist right. And the cartridge length makes it right in every factory mag box, assuming throat is correct.
So yea. This version of 243 is perfect and will out perform the 6 CM by a smidge.
ETA: If you scroll up and check Stick’s COL measurements with 3 heavies to kiss lands, all of them are longer than a factory Rem 700 would allow. That’s the beauty of the FC SA, assuming throat geometries are identical.
