JB - I think the Creedmoor ammo quality and cost, along with factory rifles did more to shore up it's sales and acceptance as much as it's design attributes. It is a good one. One might only imagine what the 260 Might have been had Remington done what Hornady did....offer match quality ammo at good prices. Not in the cards for Rem to do such a thing.....

I suspect the new round will deliver, how many converts Nosler has will be interesting, but the 223 market is huge, and they surely will get some piece of it.
