.308 vs 6.5 Creed?

[Tim K]

Some good points and some entertaining points. Thanks for playing along. I was rooting around in the cabinet where I store projectiles and found 1100 or so 142SMK's from back when I was shooting a .260. That discovery might have made the decision for me. I do also like the reduced recoil over a .308 for those occasions when I might shoot it in a LR match.

Sweet Jesus, I thought I’d seen every meme ever, but I hadn’t seen that one. Glorious!

308.

So much easier to troubleshoot.

125 TNTs for close up stuff. 175 Matchkings or 185 Juggs for distance.

You are going to want those 142s for Cals boltgun.

Good point.

How big a pain in the arse do you suppose it would be to develop a subsonic .308 load? Impossible in an AR-10?

And have it function as a semi auto? You cant get there from here.

AA 1680, 220g SMKs, a 1.5 ounce buffer and a JP flat wire spring.

Ask yourself, do you wanna Creamoore?

I built a really nice 260 AR. It was a beauty. I never shot it and it turned into something useful
