6mm Creed in Long Action

[Creedmoor shooter]

get a 6rem/244rem and use slower powders to have a longer life as it would work in a long action better. plus, its max pressure is less than the creed.

Just for the simple fact of brass availability Id avoid 6mm rem. As much as I love the 6mm rem, ain't no way I'd build one over a creed. Quality brass is available and everywhere for the 6 creed. 6 rem not so much.

I have an Origin Long Action I originally planned to use for a rifle, but recently got the idea to try and use it for a SA build (temporarily for a few years). The thought is to build a kids/family rifle for deer/fun (low recoil). 6mm creedmoor is on my mind.

Could I build it out using the Accurate Mag 308 Long Action Mag?
Anybody have experience with a similar SA built on a LA?
Anyone have experience with the Accurate Mag 308 LA mag?

Ran a 243 for PRS in a Savage long action, MDT chassis, MDT 3006 mags. Never had an issue.

Good choice to go with 6 creed. I think it's an improved 243 and I have 4 rifles in it! Soooo easy to reload. You need a 7.5 or 8 twist to stabilize the over 100gr. Bullets. And I think your build will be better with at least a 22 " barrel. Nit much additional weight. Yes, a 243 with a 10 twist works; but I found the 6 creeds work better with the 7.5 or 8 twist as that will allow the heavier bullets, from 103 to 115. It truly is a great cartridge and will drop deer way out there!

I've had 22" barrels and they're a little long with a suppressor for my style of hunting in the southeast US. I'm not really concerned with weight as much as I am the handiness of them. The topography, game, and distance that is common around here lean more towards handy/comfortable carrying in the woods all day over an extra 100-200 yards of ethical range (deer inside 400 yards)

You never happened to run your 243 in their 3 round 30-06 poly cip mag did you?
