I'd say a 105 should do 2850-2950 depending how hard you wanna stand on itWhat's the muzzle velocity in a dasher with a 22-24" barrel? I may stay shorter since it'll run a can 100% of the time. 105-110gr bullets.

Ruger American Predator in 6 creedI've been wanting a 6mm of some sort, factory rifle, and stick to factory ammo for once since I load for everything else. At least I told myself factory ammo, who's kidding who. I'm still liking 6 creed, just doesn't seem to be many factory rifles that are available to me and catch my eye. I want a light and compact rifle mainly for deer, maybe up to a 10 power scope. Factory 243 win twist rates has turned me away from it.
I too am building AGAIN lolHello everyone! I'm thinking ahead a bit, but I'm considering a 6mm build in the next couple of years. I will preface this discussion with the fact that I will be building the rifle on a Remington 700 action in 243 Win. I have shot thousands of rounds out of this rifle, and it is my favorite gun. Period. I've killed prairie dogs, varmints, coyotes, deer, and antelope with it. Shot paper, steel, shotgun shell hulls, and coins with it. The thing has always been a tack driver, and I it!
Anyway, my only complaint about the gun, being a factory rifle in 1-9.5 twist, is that I could not stabilize anything heavier than 95 gr pills out of it. Groing in the long range game, I've found myself leaving the gun in the cabinet in favor of my 7mm Rem mag and 308 Win.
I'm torn about what cartridge to focus on for a new build. All would have a 28 inch barrel with a 1-7" twist.
243
Pros - I already have a love for the chambering, I have the dies, brass, etc.
Cons - you cannot let the heavier bullets out as much (COL) as I might want to.
6CM
Pros - There are components, specifically brass, available. There is more room to seat bullets out in the short action mags.
Cons - I'd have to buy new brass and dies. I will also be honest that I don't want to become part of the CM fan Boyz I like my older cartridges.
6 GT
Pros - From everything I've read, you get more for less. The same velocity, less powder, less recoil. The chambering looks exceptionally efficient! I can let my seating depth out even more than the CM.
Cons - finding brass looks to be a pain in the ***, and again I'd have to get new dies. It doesn't hurt my pride as much as becoming a fan boy, but switching still hurts my pride a bit.
Those are my thoughts. I'd love to hear what y'all think. Thanks in advance!
That's the one I'm looking at but at just about $1.000 I'm having a hard time talking myself into it.Ruger American Predator in 6 creed
Wow they have gone up substantially. I bought one in .243 years ago and I'm almost sure I paid $500 Cad. You won't be dissapointed. I wish mine took the AICS pattern magsThat's the one I'm looking at but at just about $1.000 I'm having a hard time talking myself into it.
That's respectable. I'm pretty happy if I can make 2900. I'm also pretty bad about leaning on things a little hard.I'd say a 105 should do 2850-2950 depending how hard you wanna stand on it
Thank you, there's a Timney 2 stage hunting trigger in there and on a 700 build you'll need a box magazine conversion from Legacy Sports. Though the 700 ADL and BDL will hold the 6.5 CM, the bullets won't feed smoothly at all from the mag well. Good Day AllNice!
While we're showing paper. Here's was my final recipe for my reloads, 5 under a dime at 50yds with a 12-15 mph back wind. Good Day AllHello everyone!
