[QUOTE="stomp442, post: 1118163, member: 70571"] The .260 gets a bad rap because the 140's need to be seated slightly deeper to fit a standard 2.800" magazine thus sacrificing a very small amount of case capacity. The 6.5 creed is a shorter case but can seat the bullet where it needs to be. Smaller case or bullet seated deeper equals the same dang thing. A 140gr bullet at 2750-2800fps. Both cartridges offer excellent ballistics and perform great on game, can't really go wrong with either choice. For what its worth I have built a few .260's on Savage short actions and I have never had any problem seating the bullet where it needs to be and still fit the magazine just fine. Remington short actions on the other hand are a bit tighter. [/QUOTE]
