Both great calibers. 6.5 Creedmoor was marketed 100x better than the 260
Everything Remington markets they do incompetently.
Agreed
If Remington had any sense they would have given the 260 an actual marketing budget and teamed up with a major ammo manufacture.
And, don't forget, Remington never cataloged it in their most popular rifles, the 700 ADL and BDL, in addition to, or instead of, the 700 BDL SS-DM.
Let me write that again, Remington never cataloged the 260 in either the 700 ADL or BDL, what does that suggest to you about their degree of commitment?
Remington made a non-cataloged run of 700 ADL matte/synethic rifles in 6mm, 257 Ronberts, and 260 for Grice at least once during the early 2000's, but they must not have sold well enough for Remington to make any of them a regular production cataloged item.
Remington was sending rifle to wholesalers before they sent ammunition, which seems like incredibly poor marketing. When I got my first 260, a 7 SS, in 10/97, Zander's didn't have factory loaded ammo available, so I bought dies, Winchester/Olin 243 brass, and used Ken Waters' 263 Express data to start loading for it.
