Rebarrel advice(New Shooter)

[Steve_O]

Just starting PRS and collecting reloading components/reloading equipment for the 6GT. I have a Tikka factory 6.5 Creed barreled action in a MPA Matrix chassis and want to get it rebarreled (heavy barrel) for 6 creed or 6.5 creed and shoot that until I get everything together for my 6GT. Question is should I get a 6 creed or 6.5 creed barrel spun up? I will be shooting factory Hornady Match ammo for awhile until I start to reload. Thanks

In my area I haven't seen 6.5 creed for sale in over a year. Plenty of 6 creed on the shelves here though. That makes it an easy choice for me

6 Creed.

6 creed also

6 creed will burn the barrel faster. That’s a consideration. But 6 creed is a great round for PRS.

I was hoping to burn out my 6 creed barrel but I just don’t get to shoot enough rounds. Thank you covid.

I have been seeing 6creed on the shelves since last year, if you are going to shoot factory that’s what I would shoot.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations, looks like I will be going 6 creed.
