[QUOTE="bearcat2, post: 2030652, member: 18832"] The 260 in custom ARs was cleaning up the competition. This is why the 6.5 Creedmoor came to be. It was built as a long range competition caliber that would chamber, and feed reliably in an AR while shooting heavy, high BC bullets. They did a few tweaks to it so it isn't a 260AI, but it is pretty dang similar. But with successful marketing it is chambered in about any gun you can buy off the shelf and has an absolute plethora of ammo choices on the shelf at any sporting goods store (not now, but when they can keep them in stock). Basically they did enough tweaks to a wildcat to patent it, chambered it in factory rifles with the right twist, came out with factory ammo with heavy high BC bullets and did a good job marketing. You can do anything a 6.5 Creed can do with a 260, but when it came out you couldn't do it with factory ammo in your average factory rifle. [/QUOTE]
