Same for me. I am going the 6.5 Creedmoor way for my “do everything rifle”. Although I still keep my trusty 308 for when the brass becomes rare…

Could you please re edit the post adding the price of the common powders for the different cases: (223, 6mmbr, 6.5×47, 308 and 338 lapua?)
When I used to shoot a 300 win mag at long range in the UK, the powder was definitely among the expensive components of the equation…
Thanks.

Comparing loaded ammo costs as well as components and barrel life and the way Hornady is promoting their 6.5 Creedmoor its a no brainer for me. Ammo for the Hornady A-Max is a hard act to follow. Considering all aspects of the application of my rifles and recoil-barrel life-trajectory ballistics- terminal ballistics etc. I just cant justify any other caliber for my next barrel job on my .243 because of the awesome prices of the 6.5 Creedmoor ammo and Hornady A-Max bullets.
