[QUOTE="TeleStratMan, post: 3245487, member: 44716"] I use to shoot both the 243 and 308 and they are both great cartridges. I like the 6.5 Grendel in the MSR Platform but chose the 6MM Creedmore in a Bolt Rifle. The 243 WIN and 6MM CM shoot the same diameter bullet .244" and the 6MM CM gets a slight edge over the 243 WIN . One reason is the 6MM CM can handle heavier bullets due to the faster barrel twist rate. The 243 Win could shoot the very same 103 and 107 grain bullets very accurately if the rifle used the same twist rate. Unfortunately most OTC Rifles in 243 WIN use a slower twist rate than the 6MM CM. I would like to own a AR10 and have 2 uppers- one in 6.5 CM and the other in 6MM CM. Just a side note: The owner of a long time popular Tulsa gun shop told me that he now sells more 6.5 CM ammo than any other CF Cartridge. His shelves reflected that because there were many choices in 6.5 CM. [/QUOTE]
