[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1281725, member: 87243"] Lol yes, I do agree it's a very efficient cartridge, it does exactly as advertised and makes a great efficient short action long range cartridge. And if you are not running a long action or detachable mag with longer OAL ability, or if you don't reload, the Creedmoor is the clear choice. I went with the .260 AI, as I wanted the most performance possible out of a short action without changing my bolt face to a magnum dia. I also run an AICS bottom metal and can seat my rounds long. With h4831 I ran the 140 Bergers at 2930, but that was over a grain below my max, that's just where it shot good, but I got them going 3025, the 143's shot good at 2975, got them to 3015, but I'm currently experimenting with Reloder 26, and I got the 147 eldm to 3092 Avg, but I didnt find max, the load that is looking promising is going 3042 Avg...at that speed, I'm only falling about 50ish ft- lbs short of a 7mm rem mag @1000yds sending a 168 berger at 3050, with less drop and wind drift and more velocity.
