All I know is I wanted an 84M Kimber in .260 Remington. The one they built wa notoriusly inaccurate. They dropped it.
When they started making Kimbers in 6.5 Creedmoor I figured it was close enough so I bought one. Very accurate and popular so ammo and components are relatively inexpensive.
I have a 6,5x55 (An 1894-nice little carbine.) and if I had one chambered in ia modern action I could come close enough with it or the .260 that It would match the Creedmoor.
What I couldn't match is the low price availability of rifles, brass, bullets, load info and factory ammo.
