The 26 Nosler does have more punch than the creedmoor. But the cost of that extra punch, is extra recoil. So depending on what you are wanting to do with it, depends if the extra is worth it. The creedmoor is an adequate hunting cartridge out to the limits to most people’s ability, and is a very capable 1000 years target round, with minimal recoil. The 26 Nosler will definitely get it done quicker and farther, but it will hit your wallet and shoulder a little harder. I don’t own either, but know people who have them. My friend who has the 6.5 Nosler, also has a 6.5x47 lapua, which he enjoys shooting more.
