Thread: 6mm Creedmoor vs 243

You're right, I could just have one rifle that does it all, (my rem mag gets plenty of love and I take it on expensive trips) but where's the fun in that? A 308 would do it all, but I sold mine so I could buy a shotgun and shoot ducks. Maybe I'll end up selling this as a 7 mill o latte and get a 308 again, keep the 243 barrel, who knows.

Reloading is my hobby, I find it all fascinating, my wife and most of my friends not so much ha ha

I want to learn about a caliber I have no experience with and with a bit of luck and some good shot placement, even put some meat in the freezer in the process.

Plus the barrel swap on its own should occupy my mind for a while at least

Then again, maybe a meth habit would be cheaper

Greetings Rated M for Magnum,
I think your post above says it all. The rifles and the handloading is a journey for you as well as me. Destinations, once achieved, morph into new ones so the journey, fortunately, has no end. Enjoy it.
