I don't own a CM but if you have QL, try RL 26 at 51.0 gr in the 6.5x55 with a 140 Hunting VLD and COAL of 3.150 then have a go at the Creedmoor with the same bullet and any powder you choose. You will see that there is really no comparison.

I wasn't aware that there were two different specs for the 6.5x55. I would still like to know the OAL length to the lands with the 140 VLD hunting bullet as they usually work best seated into the lands.
