[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1953579, member: 13732"] 6.5 creed with the uber whiz powders like 26 need the volumous brass of Hornady and a 26" barrel to get those 140+ gr bullets going 2900+ fps. My 6.5 prc and 6.5x284 go 2980-3050fps with accuracy w/ 156 bergers RL26. You take a 6.5cm w/ good brass(peterson/lapua) run it against a 6.5 prc/saum(adg) using a 22" barrel and you're going to see a 200-250fps gap between the two. I load w/ RL26, N565, H1000, RL23 in my 6.5 short mags, I always seem to get 200+ better than the creed in equal barrel lengths and same powder. Hornady 6.5cm brass run hard w/ rl26 will not last but a couple firings. I have 2x 6.5prc, a 6.5x284, 6.5 saum and 3x 6.5 creeds I load for. Barrels ranging 20-26" so I've played with them all a fair bit. The creed is a decent case, and performs well. The 260rem with creed taper and a 35° shoulder would kill it. I know you don't want to fireform though. [/QUOTE]
