6arc vs 6.5 Grendel

[Marine24]

Exploring the option. Build is more PRS/NRL like but prefer the format of F class. The factory ammo is the big kicker.

@C Ward: Thanks. 6mm Creedmoor was my initial choice but came across the 6mm GT that GAP released at Shot Show in 2019. Both Prime and Copper Creek offer 6mm GT factory ammo, but 6mm CM has the nod on availability. Pricing is around $2 a round.

Del: Thanks for the calibers. I know those are the big hitters/most common. 6mm Norma BR ammo is available as a factory load from Norma and Lapua and about the price of the 6mm GT (~$2 per round). If I get hooked, a more proper F class build would be appropriate, as well as reloading.

Just was curious about the GT. A few articles on the caliber but just seemed to have fizzled.

When you throw factory ammo in the mix, get a 6.5 Creed or a 6 Creed and call it good.

You could get customer made ammo, although at a premium, from Copper Creek Or Clay's Cartridge Company.
Off the shelf ammo, Hoser's advice is correct yet again. (AKA: Mr Blutarsky )
I have had good luck with the Berger 6 Creed ammo.
Hornady is not consistent at all, even if it's from the same lot.

Thanks Gents. Good advice.

Apologize for derailing the original topic.

Glad I asked, been looking into the 6br and looks like that will be what I'm gonna go with. Thanks for the info guys, now I got some more homework to do.

Good call. I tried a bunch and keep going back to the 6BR. A heavy BR with a brake or can is a pussycat and a pleasure to shoot all day.
