[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1552965, member: 52437"] you say underachieving but some argue the opposite...for example, regardless if a belt is a big deal or not, many people hate belted cases so a big negative for 6.5 rem mag and while the 260 rem does beat the 6.5cm in speed (typically)...the 6.5cm case is better designed for semi-autos and supposedly more efficient. Basically any cartridge you can think of these days, was based off something else. Hornady may be "hyping" their rounds...but they are also winning. PRC is too new to really tell for staying power but the 6.5cm isn't going anywhere. It has been out already for over a decade and has so many rifle companies producing rifles (especially with the proper twist for long range hunting), it wont go anywhere. The downfall of the 260 is very little factory rifle offerings, and the ones that were offered, came with terrible twists for long range shooting. Also, very little in terms of factory ammo. 6.5cm has shelves of ammo a tons of choices. It makes a perfect hunting rifle for a youth, small framed person, women and full framed men. Low recoil.
