Neck it down, small rifle primer, easy load development, stupid accuracy, and Lapua brass.

how about 243 AI, trade fire forming for case trimming, as in never needing it with the 243 AI. still lapua brass.

I think the 6 creed was done so it would work well in an ar 10 to me thats where it makes alot of sense. in a bolt gun I don't get the point of it. I would rather have something with a tad more HP under the hood if I am shooting a bolt gun.

A 6x47 Lapua has a 30 degree shoulder, so growth isn't a huge issue. The 243AI has the performance advantage at the expense of barrel life, if that's what you crave.

The Lapua is a better fit in a 2.800" 700 mag box, touching the lands and not impeding on the powder space.

I run a 105's in a 22" 6x47 at 3030, and a wimpy load in a 26" with 105's and H-4831-SC at 3000. I have a third one in a 14 twist for flinging the 70's.
