[QUOTE="HaroldNRAEndowment, post: 2031588, member: 111610"] There are 2 basic specifications that edge towards the Creedmoor. The shoulder length is shorter to accommodate longer higher ballistic coefficient bullets which fitting in a short action is part of the picture. The body wall, on the Creedmoor, does not have as much taper so the case volume, is increased per equal lengths, but is about 1 grain difference edging in favor of the 260 Rem due to the shorter shoulder length. The second is marketing in terms of bullets and reloading data. Both compare equally for hunting until one reaches out beyond 500 yards. Also, when the cartridge was first developed they were thinking about match competition. In the beginning they were claiming on the average the 6.5 Creedmoor was running more efficient with less pressure. I am not sure if this was achieved. One of the well known match contestants said while using the 260 Remington, he would not immediately switch to the 6.5 Creedmoor, but once his barrel burnout, then he would make the switch. [/QUOTE]
