[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3854263, member: 33119"] Just a bit of info. Most factory 243 and 22-250 barrels are twisted 1:10 and 1:14 respectively. Therefore, stabilizing the heavier and longer ELD-X, ELD-M, and the assorted VLD bullets will be difficult if not impossible in most situations. Hence the reason behind the 6mm and 22 Creedmoor. These were created to specifically shoot these type bullets with barrels properly chambered and twisted to shoot the heaviest weight bullets offered. Heavier bullets generally have higher ballistic coefficients (BC) meaning less drag and flatter trajectory with less drift. That’s why they are popular in the long range shooting community. The 6mm and 22 Creedmoor are both built off the 6.5 Creedmoor case therefore the +/- 0.470 bolt face works for both. These two chamberings do what the 243 and 22-250 could never do without a custom reamed chamber and a faster twisted barrel. With regards to the rifle in this post, it is manufactured to appeal to the long range shooter or possibly someone wanting to shoot production class in PRS. Can it be used as a dedicated hunting rifle, sure. It just wouldn’t be my first choice. And, I routinely shoot a 260 Rem and do so with RP, Peterson, and Lapua brass. Out of these three brass manufacturers, I find Lapua to be limiting and overrated for my uses. [/QUOTE]
