[QUOTE="Dentite, post: 1459776, member: 84845"] I agree that the difference isn't enough to go buy a different rifle. And I agree that given the choice today, I'd buy a 6.5 Creedmore over .260 just due to the fact that it's more popular today so more rifles are chambered in it, etc. And I understand that the case design is different and some would say it's improved. Shorter case, shorter neck, steeper shoulder, etc. But my point was that when people say a .260 doesn't fit well in a short action, I would say that it fits just fine in my short actions. If the same bullet comes out at the same velocity (or better) and is just as accurate, and you get the same amount of brass life, does it really mean that one is "better" or different than the other? I understand how the two cases differ, and I understand how it could make a difference, but my point is what if it actually doesn't make a difference? Is it still correct to say one is better than the other. I'm not trying to be argumentative, just offering an opinion. [/QUOTE]
