[QUOTE="soldierofchrist, post: 629859, member: 24909"] Was the article comparing a 120 to a 140 grain bullet? because the only way I can see a 200 fps gain would be with a lighter bullet. I have found that the 260 Remington will be the 6.5 Creedmoor velocity wise with 120 and down slightly(very small) out of a short action with a magazine or a repeater action. The 6.5 creedmoor has a slight advantage with the heavier VLD type bullets as it is not using up case capcity as much with the longer bullets. In a single action where you can load the bullets farther out and get more freebore, the 260 will have the advantage. [/QUOTE]
