It'll be close.

I shoot a Creedmoor and have loaded RL-17 and Win 760.

The new cartridge looks speedy on paper. Hornady claims its factory-loaded 6.5 Creedmoor ammo will deliver 3,020 fps with the 120gr Amax and 2,820 fps with the 140gr Amax from a 28″ barrel. Those velocities are at the extreme high end of what we’ve seen a 6.5×47 Lapua deliver with 123gr and

A 260 will also get you that in a 28" bbl. My 260ai easily hits that w/ a 27"bbl.

I am actually looking at shooting 100 grain partitions and or 120 grain B-Tips. I load my 260s with H414 and with 48 grains from a 22 inch BBl I'm getting a shade over 3200 fps.with the partition and .9" @ 100yrds. I am considering a self loader in the Creedmoor with a 24 inch tube.
