Hornady book says a certian load is 2350 out a 20" and I am shooting 2525 out of an 18"; just one example of not caring for educated guesses.
I want real world numbers.
Yea, of course there is always 6.5CM or even 6mm I may look at but, I am looking to not buy another set of dies or more bullets and powers for Calibers I already own.
Not to be condescending, but it has been pointed out that you cannot count on your rifle producing the same results as someone else's. Strange things happen inside the chamber/barrel of a firearm. Too many variables in the manufacturing process for things to be otherwise. Your own example of 2525 fps out of an 18" barrel vs 2350 out of an 20" barrel is proof of that.
As for as the Creedmore is concerned I was hot for one until I read that the estimated barrel life was 2 to 3 thousand rounds. The .260 Rem is a little better but still a barrel burner compared to Grendel's 8 to 10 thousand round life expectancy. When I want to just go shooting, I do not want to worry about 'is this the last time it will shoot accurately?'
