[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1945443, member: 19988"] There is a reason Hornady only loads 130 grain bullets for the 260 Rem. It’s because it is better than the 6.5 CM in every way. I have both a 6.5 CM and a 260 Remington. I have gone though so much power trying to make the 6.5 CM duplicate 260 Rem performance and it has fail miserably. 6.5 CM is 200 FPS slower when matching powder to powder. 8”-9” more wind drift w/ 10 mph wind at 1,000 yards. 40” more drop than the 260 with same 140 grain Berger VLDs. I have tried so hard to prove myself wrong that the 6.5 CM is better. Bottom line is Marketing. Hornady is probably the king at that. [/QUOTE]
