[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1645544, member: 110162"] For the average Joe bubba Billy Bob deer/medium sized game hunter, there is only 2 6.5 cartridges commonly available, the 260 and the creed. The swiss is a great round, but ammo isn't on the shelf at big Al's bullet barn . The lapua is exotic to the average Joe, and the 264 WM is just a different animal. I worked at a big mom and pop gun store when the 260 got everyone's attention. We couldn't keep them in stock, abolts, 700s, model 7s, ruger 77s, and tikkas ....all sold like hot cakes for a couple years, then it just stopped . The 260 didnt get the help the creed got in the market place. If it had, it would have been a game changer like the creed has become to the average underinformed buyer. Both are great rounds, and neither are anything more than a mild mannered, mid size game getter with good bc bullets. Nothing more, nothing less. Both have the ability to punch a little over their weight because of their inherent accuracy. Good bullet construction and point of contact are the key. [/QUOTE]
