[QUOTE="walkinhorseman, post: 687531, member: 51285"] I have two 6.5 Creedmoors. One in a Tubb 2000 by McMillian and the second a Cooper Excaliber. This is one of the most accurate calibers that I have owned. The 6.5 Creedmoor was developed by Hornady with Dennis DeMille's input to be a, first and foremost, a match cartridge. Unlike so many new cartridges that we are offered that are designed as hunting rifle cartridges, that do not have true ballistics laboratory development programs. The 260 is nothing more than stuffing a .264 in a 308 case because it should be a good idea, and may have a market segment. There are some good articles out there defining the design criteria for the Creedmoor. Creedmoor factory match ammo is very high quality and priced very competitively. With the performance levels out of this efficient case, the benefits as a hunting rifle cartridge are realized. I see this 260 vs Creedmoor story playing out kind of like the 6PPC vs the 6BR. The BR has come into it's own and does things better than the PPC over a broader range of application. I thinks that the Creedmoor will come into its' own. [/QUOTE]
