[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1229203, member: 10429"] So from everything I have heard or seen the 6.5 Norma is about 150fps faster than the creed. Don't expect to get really any more than 2800 with the 140's out of the creed. The 6.5 Norma will get you up to 3000 with a 26 inch barrel and right powder combo. Also for elk your really somewhat limited on distance and energy with the creed. So far the farthest I've seen an elk taken with the creed (on TV) was a little over 600 yards. It wasn't a bang and flop but about a 40 yard trot and then piled up. Still not bad. Someone I work with has the creed and it shoot great with factory ammo. Hornady ammo. I have the 6.5 Norma 24 inch barrel it run about 2950fps and it shoots pretty well also but I hand load for it. I have heard of a few creeds with 26 inch barrel breaking the 2900fps but that's usually custom gun and not the norm either also pretty hot loads. [/QUOTE]
