[QUOTE="soldierofchrist, post: 629471, member: 24909"] Well I have owned both the 260 Remington and the 6.5 creedmoor and out of a short action with a magazine the 6.5 Creedmoor wins. I can load it with the factory load data on the back of the box and hit 2850 fps with the 140 grain bullets with the 24" barrel that comes on the factory Savage Model 10 Predator with an overall length of 2.810" COL. The 260 Remington you can do the same until you try to stuff it in a detachable mag and then the velocity drops down to 2700 fps because the bullet uses up more case capacity. Sure you can use RL17 but then your burn temp goes up and barrel life suffers and it that powder is more temperature sensitive then H4350. 260 Remington out of a short action does well with up to 120-123 grain bullets. If you want to shoot 140's the Creedmoor will do slightly better. I think it is an improvement. for people shooting off the AR10 platform it will let them compete with bolt rifles and do well.
