I am toying with the idea of having a rifle built to shoot the 6mm Creedmor cartridge. New cartridges and their fanboys are annoying in general, but this one just may have enough merit for serious consideration. This rifle would not be used for competition and will spend it's time hunting for smaller "big game" such as pronghorns and small bodied deer, varmints, and maybe the occasional informal match at the club.

Many years ago I decided that I was smarter than the other benchrest shooters and had a rifle made to shoot the 243 Winchester cartridge. It did not work out well and I got trimmed consistently in matches. A new barrel did not help. However, I decided that it was just a rifle problem and stubbornly had a second match rifle put together for the 243 Winchester. Same results. The 243 Win is a fine hunting round but just did not work out for benchrest purposes for me. I do not shoot BR anymore and can easily find other things to aggravate myself with and waste money.

The 6mm Creedmor has similar velocity to the 243 Win and is touted as having very good accuracy potential. I do not believe in either advertising claims or magic but I am casually thinking of a new rifle and am considering this cartridge.
