i had a 260rem before they were popular but changed to the creed as soon as it arrived because coincidentally my 260 needed re-barrelling , i cannot quantify it but it seemed to me that an accurate load was found easier with the creed than the 260rem ? in my experience anyway ?
the very fact that superb factory is available nearly everywhere regardless of what people say IS a good thing and a massive advantage !
running AICS mags i was at a disadvantage with the 260rem as i could not seat the long slippery bullets out far enough a non problem with the creed
one other great thing about the creed is it triggers people , reason enough to own one (or two in my case)
there are those on here with a childish hatred of anything creedmoor (they are easy to spot) they put me in the mind of sufferers of TDS in so much as no matter the facts and regardless of the good things they will hate on the creedmoor at any opportunity - hilarious
as for being banned on military ranges , well this is stupid beyond compare , right up there with not being able to use 303 but can use 308 on the thetford RAF range ! Locally all 6.5mm rounds are banned regardless of the case on military ranges and whilst we all know that it's utterly ridiculous as does anyone with even a basic grasp of ballistics the military i'm sure will see the light on how stupid this all is but sadly change moves slower than a glacier with our military bureaucrats.
like ronin i am wary of the new super high pressure loads and personally think that they are a flash in the pan , i know the military are looking at it (277 sig fury) but has it been adopted yet? if adopted it may gain traction ?
