I like to touch some off from time to time haha.
I guess it depends on what bullets you’re shooting. I have a 20inch 1:8 twist 22 creed and a 24 inch 1:8 twist 6 creed. The 22 creed is shooting the 62 eldvt at 3410 fps and the 6 creed is shooting the 80 eldvt at 3450 fps. Both use Alpha OCD LRP brass, and a fed 210 primer.
With my data above, Shooting both side by side in the same conditions, they’re the same out to 600 yards with a 10mph crosswind. Past that, the 6 creed with the 80 eldvt slightly beats the 22 creed on drop but just barely. The wind drift is still basically neck and neck.
Makes it nice when my wife and I are shooting side by side and I can run 1 bc profile in my rangefinding binos and make a wind call for us.
I went this route because of quality brass availability and to shoot the same powder (H4350). It’s nice only having a stock pile of 1 or 2 powders now haha.
Not trying to sway anyone’s opinion or say my cartridge choice is best. Just some comparison. We have a 243 in the safe too but I haven’t loaded for it lately.
