Hi
I'm currently in Vet School in South Africa and I am looking to purchase a a 6mm rifle
The most cost effective here is a howa 1500 in 6mm creedmoor, my question is that if I load the creedmoor with a slow power like N160 to get 6 br like velocities ( 2950 with 105gr) it will be about 10k psi less pressure than a BR with a faster burning powder (varget) at the same velocity
Would this not tremendous improve the barrel life of the 6mm creedmoor
