I need to have a 260 Remington re-barreled and am considering the 6.5 Creedmore. Against re-barreling to this cartridge are 1,000 260 cases and dies. I hate to spend more money than I need to.
Having shot both cartridges a little, it seems to me that the 6.5 Creedmoor only has 2 advantages over the 260:
1. If you are shooting bullets longer than the 1.320" 130 grain AB.
2. If you want to shoot excellent factory ammo.
Answer those 2 questions and you will know which fork in the road to take to 6.5mm bore nirvana.
If you like you existing 260 barrel, would it be worth the effort to set it back, cut a fresh chamber and get a fresh throat?
