the Creedmoor is simply a better designed case , a sharper shoulder with a bit longer neck will get you better brass life , less trimming , better throat life , and more flexibility when seating bullets in a short action

Exactly. I wanted a 6mm/243, and did my homework first. The more modern 6CM won. Paying a bit more for brass has been the only negative so far
