Would anyone who said that elaborate on why they'd choose .223 over a 6mm/.243 round?
Thanks!


Got my .223 long before I got a .243. As teal points out, a .223 is "super cheap to feed". I like that. I also appreciate the minimal recoil. I buy .223 bullets 500 to the box and boost them with 27g powder. Factory ammo is cheap, too.

When my grandkids start shooting, the .223 will be the first centerfire they shoot.

For my big game hunting purposes, I'll take a .243 over a .223 every time.

I'd pick my 243 over my 223 also. But the 243 is essentially my big gun. And itt has more effective range over the 223.

But 907 already has a 6.5 Creedmoor, and an AR. So a little different scenario.
I guess it depends on the configuration of the Creedmoor. If it's a heavy target rifle then a lightweight 243 would be a great choice. But if the 6.5 Creedmoor is a lightweight hunting rifle, then I might feel different.
