Nope, the Creedmoor is already loaded to the 62ksi that represents 10ksi higher than the Grendel, and it has far more powder capacity, and far less oal restriction. When I was playing around with Quickload after the .277 Fury announcement, I mocked up a high pressure Grendel to see what a rev'd out version would do. The gains weren't as much as you'd guess because with the volume limitations of the tiny case, you just couldn't fit enough of most of the good powders in to get great velocities with the really high pressures. Still, I think with some powders you could theoretically get close to lower end Creedmoor loads at like 90ksi-100ksi, roughly the same pressures as the .mil version of the .277 Fury, and nearly twice the pressure of the Grendel.
