The creed has a better designed case and because it's 264 cal it gives you the opportunity to shoot heavier 6.5mm bullets. Plus Creedmoors are all twisted fast enough to shoot the heavies.

They make a 6mm Creedmoor too that shoots the same bullets as a 243 and is comparable but the Creedmoor is twisted faster for heavy bullets and the case is a bit shorter and better designed that the 243. The 6.5 Creedmoor is to the 260 rem what the 6mm Creedmoor is to the 243.
