6 ARC or 6.5 Creed

[Packmansion]

What? 6arc & 243 use the same bullets. Just get a 1:9 or 1:8 twist and you can shoot the 100gr soft point.

Typical factory 243 ammo is meant for the 1:10 twist. If you get 243 with 103 or 108 its typically gping to cost you $60 a box. If you reload its no big deal based on the post i doubt thos person reloads as this will be their only gun. A 100 grain soft point is a terrible bullet...

Hmm, I've killed a lot of game with a 100 grain Remington CoreLokt and Hornady Interlock with a 243 and watch just as many die. Sub 300 yards is no issue for a 100 grain soft point.

Yeah a 65cm is pretty mild in the recoil department. Rifle weight makes a big difference here. Most guys a building 65cm in lightweight rifles. I had a Ti3, 20in proof carbon, hnt26 setup, suppressed. 156s at 2750 with hot load of rl26, it was pretty punchy, but it was like 8.2# all up.

My woman started hunting with a 65cm, but then she wanted to start hunting elk, so I converted her Tikka to a 65prc, she killed and shot it well, but it wasn't pleasent for her at the range. Now that Tikka is a 6cm with a supressor and she loves it.

For a female, confirm her dominant eye matches her dominant hand. Lots of RH women are actually left eye dominate. I've introduced 5 women to shooting rifles at distance, one was lefty, 4 righties, but 3 of the 5 were left eye dominant.

I'd def look for a 6cm. Mild enough recoil with no muzzle device, but excellent down range performance!
