[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1091297, member: 61747"] 6.5-284 vs 6.5 creed or 260 are not in the same league and not comparable. Apples to apples this like the 7mm mag to the 284. I am pretty sure you know all this but I just wanted to make sure the thread does not dive into that debate again. 6.5 creed vs 260 rem: Other than performance, which both are very good. The creed can edge the 260 in design. Beyond that most everything goes to the 260 simply due to factory components. I am preparing to build a similar rifle for my brother and debate on the differences as well and these 2 things stand out: Lapau brass WAY more factory ammo combos If you strictly reload and nosler custom brass fits your needs then the creed is fun and has that slightly unique flavor. The 260 seems less exotic but it is in a proven chambering and components are easily found. My buddies 260 shoots 140 vlds with h4831sc out of a 26" barrel at 2810 fps. It shoots consistent at .3 moa, has very little recoil, and he uses all sorts of brass. Currently I am leaning toward the 260 simply so that my brother can take his son out shooting and ammo is available. He is not a reloader. [/QUOTE]
