what puzzles me is how the "the best designed" cartridges often don't make it... for example the 300 RSAUM with 30 degree shoulder should technically be better than the 300 WSM if the "30 degree is optimal" is a truism... yet because it runs 50 fps slower than the 300 WSM and came out a year later it is a has-been... the 6.5 Creedmoor on the other hand has that optimal 30 degree shoulder, and runs slower than the 260, but no one cares, and it is beating the pants off all other short action 6.5s...
Could be “Remington” is the reason RSAUM took a back seat to WSM. They have a track record, screwing up roll outs and marketing.
Creed has a lot more going for it than 30*. Hornady knows how to build and market a new round. They on the other end of the spectrum from Remington.
