[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1550724, member: 68875"] Never said it wouldn't. But "better" is very minute, if at all. I had a sweet .260 Rem. Shot lights out. 140 HVLD @ 2850fps over 42.0gr H4350. I also have a 6.5 SLR (think .260 w. neck/shoulder of 6.5x47L). 140 HVLD @ 2800 or 2940fps depending on target or hunting loads. A 6.5CM will match these velocities with same length barrels. And, for the non-handloader, there is a much bigger selection of factory ammo available for 6.5CM than the .260Rem. Also, case design is a bit better in my opinion in the 6.5CM. But again, I don't HAVE a 6.5CM. And probably never will. But I have shot a lot of different 6.5CMs. [/QUOTE]
