[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 760150, member: 2736"] +1 If you want a 6.5 Creedmoor then that,s what you should get "BUT" I think the reason most people recomend the 260 is the brass availability (I found 4 brands and they were Rem, Lapua,Nosler and Norma) I also found 21 different types and brands of loaded ammo. The 6.5 Creedmoor had only 7 different boxes of ammo and two brands of brass (Hornady and Nosler. There may be more brands and boxes of ammo for both but I couldn't find them. Both cartriges are ballistic equal with less than 75 ft/lbs difference. So availability of componants would be the reason for the 260 and being an offshoot of the 308 there is lots of brass with a different head stamp that is available. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
