The Creed hate is strong with a lot of people for some reason. I don't get it. To me it is a very well designed and marketed round. Is the 260 equal? In most cases I would say yes. Performance wise it definitely is. The areas where I think the Creed is better, to me, is shorter oal, better design (case taper and shoulder angle) and it was spect 1-8 twist barrel, and brass and ammo availability.
Its always funny to see apples to oranges comparisons between cartridges. I bet the results would be very different with a 140 vld at 3k.
The creedmoor also goes better with a flat bill hat and skinny jeans - thats why I bought my 11 yr old son one. I still like that nice curve on the bill of my hat and some relaxed fit jeans - 260 seems to fit my style.
