1lesdog, that sounds like an awesome round:;:rockit
The scenario you just played out happens all the time while calling coyotes.
I seldom carry a rangefinder either.
Hold on fur too 400 yards. (17_204):)

The advantage a 6 Creed has is proper twist/chamber/mag box melding, from the get-go in every factory iteration. In short, it's launch was executed properly based upon available and projected projectile R&D. The 243Win is faster, but, with very few exceptions is twisted such that the speed is useless for projectiles over 100gn and the mag box isn't long enough to seat those projectiles out to their full potential anyway. Barrett Fieldcraft and NULA being a couple of the glaring examples of the 243Win done right.

A competent gunsmith can consult you to the proper twist for your chosen projectile and chamber any .243 bbl to 243Win such that it melds to whatever magazine option you've chosen and it will outrun the 6Creed. The 6Creed's advantage is being turnkey from your favorite retailer. No waiting on a correctly twisted barrel, extended mag box, custom stock for same, or a gunsmith to thread/chamber your barrel.

The litigious nature of our society means that neither the ammo nor the firearms manufacturers are about to go diddling with SAMMI specs that have been in place for decades. They'd rather offer you a "new" chambering before re-certifying an old chambering with a new twist rate.

this needs to be posted again and read really slow by some. It does not contain opinions just facts.

No I dont, I dont have a pack on my back. I have my calls on my neck and parachute cord in my pocket to drag my kills back to the truck. My rifle hold 5 shots and I carry 5 shells in a pocket. What more does a person need.

I looked at building a 17-204. Its either that or a 17 Nosler. The Nosler holds about 6 gr more then the 204 case. Either way there both hotrod and shot like that.

I forgot to add, my rangefinder is the duplex in my crosshair. If there's a gap between crosshair and start of duplex he's over 400 yds. I can see how far it is and adjust where I aim in a split sec.

Running light bullets in the 6.5 creedmoor wouldn’t be to horrible but then when someone asks what you are shooting you gotta say creedmoor and I just puked in my mouth.

Mine is 1 - 14 and shoot 40 to 70 gr real good. Once I went to the Blitzkings no other bullet came close to there performance.

the skeet team browbeat me into purchasing a Bedwetter Special (Barrett)

I didn't know Enslow loathed them like he does Nano - or I would have bought one years ago #$%^&>

In what caliber??

I had a 1-14 in early years with problems so went new to 1-12 been good.

1lesdog, I know you said you didn't save fur but with those speeds have you tried NBTs?
If they shoot well, may be a better "fur bullet".

At that speed the NBT dont hold up and didn't shoot very good. I started to fireformed with 70 gr NBT and they shot great. After about 20 shots I went with the cream of wheat. If I can shoot a Coyote before he get to 250 yds or more there normally is not a exit. Them Blitzkings hold together very good.

Hmm, I've had the exact opposite between the 2.
Both shoot great ( .243's n 22-250's) but the blitzing way more destructive.
