Not that the 260 has anything over the creed, which it really doesn't, just like the cartridge is all. I suggested that 6.5x55 se, and believe it to be the best 6.5 of all the non magnums. Also I've pulled the trigger on a 6.5-06 more times than I can count and was pretty impressed with it. But I bet you can shoot that 260 and never tell the difference on game from a 6.5-06. Creed might be the way to go. I just don't see why you'd shoot a 7-08 over a 260 rem. 140 is 140 bullet wise. Just my opinion.
Is the PRC a magnum?
I don’t need a new rifle. But the 6.5 PRC looks real appealing. I mean if someone wants to buy into the long range game, it’s a fairly docile high speed high BC round.
Picking a 7-08, Swede, 260, or 6.5-06 is going to favor the reloader anyway. And choices in new rifles would likely favor the 6.5 PRC.
The 7-08 probably wins in a compact rifle over the rest though. Because it is maybe the most efficient of this group with a short barrel.
