Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Why/How does the Creedmoor out run the 260 & 6.5x55?

I have an old sportered Swede 38 and a Striker with a 260 barrel. I must have the slowest Swede on the fire. I still love it though and will be the last to go. 140gr SSTs run 2450 max. It has good accuracy and will do in the whitetail timber. With Nosler brass it flattens primers a bit. With Rem brass looks like new primers with a dent in them. My Striker maxes out about 2500 with the same SSTs. Good accuracy. Good to me is right at an inch at 100.
