[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1268802, member: 4566"] Well most Creeds will run within 50FPS of a 260 give or take. So a SAUM is ROUGHLY 250 FPS faster than a Creed in a 24' barrel. That difference will be SLIGHTLY smaller in a 22" like the OP mentioned. Yes this COULD be significant but 99.9% of the time it won't be for 50% more powder, lots more blast and throat wear. I'm a big case guy too and have never heard of too much speed or power but large cases NEED more barrel length to work as INTENDED. Personally I would vote SAUM but with a 28" tube or the Nosler with a 32. The OPs specs are just sorta contradictory with the cases listed versus the rifle specs. 22" barrels+ overbore rigs=Less than ideal results. Match the case to the rig or accept the compromises I guess. A 7SAUM or 300 SAUM would be more SENSIBLE with a 22" tube. Of course when did anyone say something needs to be sensible to be fun or kill stuff dead? [/QUOTE]
