    My 16 inch creed accounted for 2 reds yesterday, factory 143 eld x moving at a measly 2530 ish. 2 clean, quick kills. Both quartering toward toward, one punched shoulder and carried through to back of ribs with a tennis ball sized exit. Big fat healthy animal. Other entered, traveled the length of the body and smashed the opposite side hip. Enough energy and excellent penetration = clean kills on medium sized game. Same rifle has taken animals out to 280y with no issues. Can wring plenty more out of it with handloads, but it works just fine with factory
    Yeah I should have been more descriptive, I meant with the bolt stop, mag change to allow you to seat the projectile further out on a 260.
