[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1404730, member: 78438"] Midnightmalloy There is not a situation that exits where the creed will out run the 6.5x284 in any given weight. It doesn't matter how much barrel you cut off, just cut off enough to equal the weight in any configuration and the 6.5x284 will win. I didn't say a couple of ounces. I didn't say it was cheaper to shoot. I didn't say it was cheaper to build. cost of reloading is hardly worth mentioning between the two, but the creed has a very slight edge. For deer and antelope hunting, the 6.5x284 is just better, which is what the op asked about. For high volume target shooting on a budget, the creed would probably be a better choice considering the cost of barrel replacements. Most hunting rifles will never need a new barrel. The creed is just slightly neutered .260 rem with a cool name, I have nothing against it, I have a .260 w, but it's not a 6.5x284, just like the 30-06 is not 300 wm. There's no need to try to make something it's not, if you want to go faster, just buy a bigger gun! [/QUOTE]
