[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1297277, member: 12995"] And the 6.5 Creedmoor will always wish it could be the .260 AI... The .260 Ackley is still the king of the short-action (.473") 6.5 cartridges. Pushes the 140 Hybrids over 3K with a 26" barrel. Also, if Remington's release timing of the .260 Rem (1997) hadn't been so crappy, it would have dominated and the Creedmoor (2007) probably never would have come about. But despite Remington's timing blunder, they stopped supporting it and it almost completely died-off. So, that was 2 huge hits against the .260 Rem. Remington almost killed-off the cartridge that started this whole recent 6.5 short-action trend here in the states. I know there were folks shooting the x47L long before that, but it was not a trendy cartridge, other than in certain niche' areas, like amongst BR and varmint shooters. As much as I love my 700 actions...I definitely have had my fair-share of complaints about stupid bonehead crap that Remington has pulled over the years. [/QUOTE]
