The first shot I ever fired with a 6.5. Creedmoor I said to myself, they said this cartridge is super low recoil, that kicked way harder than I expected.
Its true, a 6.5 lb ( bare weight) 6.5CM with 140-147gr bullets in a same weight gun recoils (felt recoil) much closer to a .308 than it does a 243 or 22-250, 250 savage and like size rounds. It both comes back with a lil punch and the muzzle jumps a bit.
For what your stating you want the 22-6mm CM are more in the sweet spot. The 25-06AI is neither super low recoil or an easy button. The 243AI much more in the same class of shootability, ur still fireforming tho, not an easy button no mo lol.
Oh! The 6XC, great factory brass and cheap to shoot.
For shooting tons id add up the costs of grs of powder, and per bullet per cartridge combo and see what emerges after that. Without considering the 22s, the 6's can be noticeably cheaper bullets, than the others, even at 100 per, let alone 3000 of em.
This was what I was seeing this summer..
