I'm curious how much you think you exaggerated in your statement?
What did he exaggerate?

Like your quote.What about a few pics of the cartriges?
He's not exaggerating. Any of the short necked magnums, including the .300 Winchester Magnum, burn barrels. Most of the short mags have chromed barrels to extend their barrel life. The Army's new M2010 in .300 WinMag is a serious barrel burner, especially with the ammo they use. 2000, to 2500 rounds and it has to be re-barreled. That's one of the penalties of using a Magnum cartridge.I'm curious how much you think you exaggerated in your statement?
. Lol, 20-50 Fps is not an edge that any animal would notice. They're almost identical in the real world. And with RL26, the Creed is about the same as the 6.5-284 was a few years back. 140s at 2900+ is not unreasonable. I realize that making fun of the Creed is the cool thing to do, and lots of people trying to make it something it's not doesn't help. But comparing it to a 7mm burning 110 grains of powder, and costing $7 a round, the way this thread was started is pure lunacy. It's easy to out perform a standard short action round with a long action ultramag round that only works in a few special actions. Is a 7.21 actually going to kill an animal in a situation that a 28 nosler or even a properly loaded 300wm wouldn't? If you like lesser known super expensive screamers that's fine. But justifying them by comparing them to a short action standard round designed for long strings of competitive shooting is kinda dumb. It would be like saying the creedmoor is better because the lazzaroni wouldn't make it though a single PRS match. It's not even apples and oranges, its gas station hotdogs to Ruth's Chris.And yes, the .260 Rem has an edge on the Creedmoor in velocity
