That's why u need to go 6 creedmoor over a .243, almost the same speed with the creedmoor being the more effeciant round by case design. Also was made to offer a better 6mm round for the AR platform

I'll give a vote for the 7/08. Fun cartridge and would be pleasant out of an AR10 type rifle.
dvdcrr,
if 6mm Rem does interest you check out harrisbarrelworks.com I talked to them recently about my next project and wait times aren't too long. In looking at balistic charts, the 6mm Rem has a bit more 'umph' than the .243. I'm starting to get interested in this round...

I'd go .260 Remington, or 6.5 Grendel.
To 'rcmodel',
In a SHTF senario, however unlikely, our founding fathers would probably have intended that you muster up the fortitude to handle that extra 3# of rifle & show up with something that could 'bark'... Regardless, in my book, you are a patriet if all you bring to the table is a slingshot and a desire to preserve our Constitution and way of life, as it was originally intended. With all due respect, & thanks! E

Hmm...true. Shows what I know past 556.
Then I vote Creedmore. I dig the mid 6s these days.
Thanks 'meanmrmustard'!
I thought long and hard about going with the .260 vs. the Creedmoor. Brass was the primary issue but I really do like that 6.5mm, BC bullet and having x 2 might be practical. I guess that I would just have to have some specifically, dedicated brass if I went with the creedmoor. I don't think that you could re-work .308,7/08,.243 like you can with the .260. Staying away from the 30 cal. is an advantage these days in supply / cost.

Also, the BC of those longer 140gr 6.5 bullets are stepping on the toes of heavier .30 bullets. Better for the shoulder AND long range.
As a shooter of .260 and 6.5 Swede, I've learned the benefits of low recoil and better ballistics that the mid 6s have to offer early on.
I'd stick to a chambering in that area myself.
