Grendel or Creedmore

[Luke45]

You can always load down, You can't ever load up.
AR calibers are best left in AR platforms, there will always be a better performer in the more forgiving bolt actions.

Ok so the creedmore is better because of the ability to use heavy pills. But would y'all own a creed if you already had a lbc gas gun or two.
What I'm getting at is: do you think it's worth the trouble and expense of reloading another cartridge if you were already loading Grendel/lbc?
Or would the KISS(keep it simple stupid) acronym apply here?

Your loads and brass are going to be different for a semi vs bolt. Different overal lengths, bolt shells will probly be neck sized, differnt bullets ect may as well be different cartridges

I actually prefer to load a different cartridge. It makes it easy to avoid putting the wrong load in the wrong gun! Then again, I currently load for 28 different cartridges so one more wouldn't make much difference.

The ability to shoot 140's is huge when the wind blows. The advantage is worth any inconveniences.

I have a 264 lbc ar 15 and have built 2 264 lbc(a 6.5 grendel variant) bolt guns on savage actions. I don't have a creedmoor to compare to. I can tell you that the 264 lbc's are extremely accurate with little recoil. I would say just a tad more recoil than a 223. It terms of knock down power, we have taken pigs up to 200 lbs and out to 300 yards and they just drop and my buddy took a 180lb whitetail, that ran 20 yards before piling up. For hunting we use the Barnes TTSX 100 grn or the Hornady SST, 123 grn. There is tons of info on the 6.5 Grendel Forum to take a look at.
Those 95 to 120 t/tsx's are really stellar in the 6.5/264 AR 15 platform.
