Too be honest hornady found a Golden Horseshoe with the creedmoor because the rest of their designs will probably never last from lack of guns too support sales of their designs
Bore capacity. Each caliber has its max. This is nothing new, but has been around as long as smokeless powder. When you reach bore capacity muzzle blast and recoil go up faster than velocity. Modern powders have cheated that somewhat with their slow burn rates. We all accepted the velocity that the factories put out about the 7mm rem mag, until chronographs came about then remington backed off on their claims. With older powders the 7mm rem mag and 264 win mag barely got above the 270 in velocity. Today with the new generation of powders we are able to achieve new peaks. Roughly 70 grains was max in the 30 bore for years, example, the 30/06 will achieve some where around 3000 fps with the 60 grains of powder. To get 300 to 500 more fps we have to add 1/3 more powder. Barrel erosion goes into play at that point. Even a 308 has better barrel life than a 30/06.
Interesting that today the 300 wsm, achieves the same velocity as the 300 win mag, it is achieved they say by a fatter case. It is closer to that magical 70 grains though.
This is what I'm talkin' about! I just got my 6 Creed barrel from X-Caliber, don't have it screwed on yet and looking the next project@FEENIX but innovation that stoops as low as the creedmoor? No thanks!
This new cartridge, though, in all seriousness, sounds pretty cool. I may need a new rifle after all!

You guys kill me! All the quarter bore bashing I've heard for years now we put creedmoor begins .25 and it's the coolest! Bet if you put it behind 308 it would make Winchester's version obsolete! Lmao

I believe you Okie Man, it be true with the 257 and 264 bullets.Seems you put any bullet in a creedmoor case and it gets better
RL-26 is very efficient in a 260 Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 25 Creedmoor with 130-135 gr. class bulletsI won't pretend like I know everything about this. But one observation I have made is it seems like sometimes it takes a lot more powder in the big cases to get the same velocity of a smaller case.
For example if I use 54 grains of Rl-26 in my 6.5x284 Norma I get 2950 FPS. If I use 46.5 Rl-26 in a 6.5 creed I get 3075fps same bullet same primer. The Creed has 2 inches more barrel than the 284. I assume this all due to pressure but not sure I understand why so much more powder is needed. I would appreciate an explanation if someone is so inclined. By the way I am not being snarky I honestly can't understand why it requires so much more powder.
