I just built 2 6mm creeds. They are both 170 fps faster with 108's than a 243 could ever push them. Easiest cartridge I've ever loaded for for sure.

6 CM the way to go. Was just stretching mine out couple weeks ago at about 700yds. Easy cartridge to load for.
Thanks all! I think I'm just gonna stick with the creed. Already have a good supply of virgin Lapua SRP brass. Maybe use that extra mag length to play with some of the big monos...

Boys, there's a new kid on the block! 6mm GT, 110 AB, 24" bbl, 37gn H4350, .35moa, 2965fps, etc. Check it out!!!
I shoot the gt for prs, on my 2nd barrel. Great cartridge in that regard. However the 44gr capacity leaves a lot on the table performance wise as a hunting rifle.

Whats wrong with the old 6mm remington...??
It's longer still than 6-284 with less case capacity. A fine round and the AI version is an absolute screamer but just simply too long for my application!

Yes, I have 2-6mm Rem Senderos that shoot nickel size groups at 300 yards! Great guns, but shells are a bit long! The 6mm GT is much shorter, and otherwise similar ballistics!
6GT is fine for the competition shooting it's designed for but gives up way too much velocity to be worth considering for my intended use.

Today I'll be doing some testing with rl-26 in the 6 creed. I'll keep you posted on velocity but I think you'll be impressed
