[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1091295, member: 307"] Currently shooting the 6.5X284 Norma. I bought a .260 Rem a few years back but in a Rem700 Mountain Rifle, not a LR rig for sure. My 12 yr old loved it until he out grew it but it killed everything he pointed it at! Never owned, or even considered owning a 6.5 Creedmoor. When it first came out I chalked it up to marketing hype. "Can't do anything the .260 can't already do". It's Hornady's baby and they want to sell it. It's on the cover of the latest Hornady Reloading manual. Look at the ballistics of it compared to the 6.5X284. They make some excuse (for the 6.5x284) about a short throat or something, I forget now. Whatever! Proofs in the puddin'. With all that said, I am not a Creedmoor hater either, just don't see the need. My vote would go with the .260 (if I had to regress) just for the Lapua brass benefit alone. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
