Short-dog complex. Reality Complex and something I've been "plagued" with for many moons............

Yes I reload, but I am a college student and I work and I have a family. So my time is precious. Sometimes I want to buy factory ammo to save some time. Creedmoor ammo is around $20 a box vs $30 for the 260. I prefer to try a rifle out with factory ammo and if it shows potential I invest in reloading equipment. With limited time and money, I honestly don't see why you chose the creedmoor (aside from the obvious that has already been pointed out). 223 or 308 clearly would have been a better choice in your circumstance.

I have those calibers already lol but thanks for the advice. BTW I have considered another 308; it's still on the list of options.

Snakeman you may not like how Stick talks to you but you can rest assured he knows what he talks about and gives good advice, he's helped me several times in the past so I know his heart is right. Check out this Thread I posted a while back on a cheap rifle.

Again, why NOT the Creedmoor? I keep asking, and no one's answering beyond simply saying "no." What's your rationale?

Cheaper to shoot.................

There's no inherent advantage to the Creedmoor. Buying factory Creedmoor fodder alone is reason enough NOT in this case.
