[QUOTE="hypersonic, post: 240765, member: 5217"] The Creed does nothing that the 260 Rem won't do. The only numbers I have seen are those published by Hornady in gun Mags that arrive in my mailbox once a month. They are showing figures from 28" tubes, which is well and fine. I have had no problems getting very close to those numbers with a 22" pipe. My current 260 is a carry rifle for high ground hunting so weight was a factor. My next 260 will be different and will have a 26" tube and I am thinking on bulding it on a M98 style action. I do not have a donor action right now but finding one should be no problem. If you are shooting Deer only you can look at the 140 a max very accurate for me though I have not taken any game with one. You can also give some serious thought to the 140 Berger it has a BC of like .640 IIRC. I have shot both Deer and Black Bear with mine with no problems. I have not pushed past 400 yards well 406 to be exact. All deer shot have been bang flops and the Bear took two partitions at 190 yards and only made 10 feet before the lights went out. I like more rifle for BB's but they are not too hard to put down with proper placement. Do not overlook IMR -7828 or H-1000 in the .260 with 140 grain bullets. H-4350 and H-4831 get a lot of praise in the the 260 and have both worked quite well for me. I am still working with 7828 and 1000 both show great promise and will offer a speed increase in a 26" barrel. Yes I do like the 260 quite a bit very accurate easy to load light recoil and a good killer on medium game. [/QUOTE]
