[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 3020328, member: 115658"] I am real olde and I have had experiences with both, .244 Rem (AKA 6mm Rem) & .243 Win since the late 1950's, like 66 years ago. Given the same twist rates they are close ballistic twins. Thoughtful cartridge guys have come up with the 6mm Creedmoor - fits great in a short action rifle & has the option of small rifle primers. In a short action rifle I would select the 6mm Creedmoor & be happy with weekly buys of small rifle primers to produce ammo. 6mm Remington & 7mm X 57 Mauser brass is large primer & close to impossible to find. I recently re-barreled a FN Mauser 6mm Rem to an 8 twist .243 Win loaded to 2.9 inches COAL with 105 grain bullets, because my LGS's & on-line stores never have 6mm Rem brass. I plan to reform small primer .260 Rem brass to .243 Win brass so I can burn the barrel out using abundant small rifle primers. I never shot any deers with a 6mm rifle but have used 6mm's successfully against rodents up to 1/2 mile away & have shot steel up to 1,000. [/QUOTE]
