I'm rebarreling some kind of 6 for intermediate range matches - 200-800 or 1k at the max. It is 6CM now with 1800 rounds of factory hornady 108's.
I have H4350 and varget in enough quantity to shoot either caliber for a few years, and primers and 105/109s for both. I have GT brass because it was at the local shop.
Should I go 6GT and "not worry about tuning a load" or go 6CM. Both have factory ammo if I need it. I hate figuring out loads, I just want to figure it out once, shoot, and keep reloading that load until something goes wrong. Is the extra speed from 6cm, and less barrel life worth it? I'm still the kind of shooter that takes 500 rounds on a gun/barrel to 'trust it' and know my speed/elevation is right.
That has me leaning towards 6GT.
What am I missing?
