i guess, if you like poor penetration and difficult tracking jobs. the 243 in my experience performs better in the field. pretty sad when you have to have 60gr of powder to compete with 40gr in the creedmoor. comparing a long action to a short action, really ? it isnt even in the same league as the 6.5 in terminal performance

The Creedmoor is not a death ray. It’s kills as efficiently as about 3 dozen other cartridges. The bullet kills, not the head stamp on the brass..

sooooo.... what about a 26 Nosler?
Forum says "Veteran Tracker". I could not track a garbage truck into a fireworks factory.
