A lot of you miss the point of the Creed's development. The whole point of the creed was to create a round that could shoot high BC bullets and still fit in a short action. It doesn't outperform the 260, but it allows more latitude to seat bullets. To to sit here and dismiss high BC bullets when discussing the Creedmoor, defeats its purpose. Obviously a 6.5-284 or 264 offers more velocity, but they require a long action with more powder and recoil.
Someone brought up a 30'06 with 225gr bullets. Yeah, that's what it takes to beat the Creed. 50% more powder and recoil, and you'd probably have to single feed it. Sounds like a winner, lol!
