[QUOTE="soldierofchrist, post: 629753, member: 24909"] A 260 Remington will still beat a 308 with a 140 grain bullet but out of a magazine your going to be holding velocity down to 2700-2750 fps, which isn't a bad thing. just Hornady when they designed the 6.5 Creedmoor made it so it can be chambered in a short action without needing to cram the bullet pass the neck and shoulder junction with some room to spare which will get you up to 2800 fps+ with a little less powder at boot giving a nominal increase in barrel life.
