John Barsness in his Loads that Work article said to use .260 Rem. data and add 2 to 3 grains of powder. Start low of course. http://www.tulprpc.org/attachments/File/Handloads_That_Work.pdf

I checked a couple of cases and the 6.5 runs three to five grains more than the .260. I am comfortable with the 2+ grains but three may be too hot depending on powder. The other thing is the Swede likes slower powders that aren't used in the .260, not sure why a couple of grains capacity would make a difference.
