6creedmoor to fill a gap or not needed?

[Eo12]

Was thinking of adding a 6creedmoor barrel to one of the tikkas but have them in a few calibers already. 6br, 6.5cm, 6.5prc, and .308. Would there be much of, if any performance gains on animals (axis deer, pigs, and goats) by using a 6creedmoor?

 

[ljalberta]

No.

 

[waspocrew]

I think you already have your bases covered.

 

[Eo12]

Ok thank you both for confirming what I kinda thought. Appreciate it.

Throw a 95tmk in the 6br, plenty of medicine for deer to 500y.

Agreed the 6br won’t be “as fast” but will be more than sufficient at hunting ranges.

 

[Eo12]

Thanks. Haven’t tried loading for the 95tmk yet, I’ll look into those. Loaded some Berger 105s and some Norma 76 tipstrikes for the next hunt.

0% needed...

What twist rate do you have in the BR? The 6CM has a fast twist for longer heavier bullets.

 

[wind gypsy]

I think I'd prefer 6BR to 6CM for the majority of use mine gets but I do like to have the extra velocity in a short barrel that the CM allows. That and I have probably shot as much factory ammo as handloads in my 6CM.

 

[Dave Thomas]

It might not be needed but if it's something you want it definitely won't hurt to add an additional barrel.

Everyone needs another gun and 6 Creed is awesome for a short barrel hunting gun.

I have two 243s and two 6 creeds, and I don’t “need” any of them.

 

[Dan Carey]

I have 1 6CM, 1 243 Win and 1 243 AI, they are great guns for most game animals.
