Actually it is different. The Creedmoor is an answer to a "geometry problem", namely how to keep the ogive/shank transition of long VLD bullets out of the case neck while having the cartridge fit in the standard 2.8" magazine. It is not about velocity gains attributed to seating a slender bullet out farther when really it's higher pressure making the numbers happen.

6-06 gives you multiple options to ā€œmakeā€ brass. The 240Wby is an island unto itself for me thatā€™d be reason enough to bail on the 240. A good friend has a NULA in 240 (1:7) itā€™s an absolute hammer w/110 A-Tips. But, it was a pain in the rump rounding up brass.

Regarding the OPā€™s original question. If youā€™re starting from scratch, thereā€™s no way Iā€™d go less than 1:7. Look @ where projectile R&D is going. Nobody is gonna be wishing for slower twists anytime soon.

Whole heartedly agree with your comment on 6-06 brass. Rounding up 240 brass, while definitely more expensive, isn't terribly difficult to do though....unless you don't have internet access. I've never had a problem finding brass for my 240.
