Still have not answered the COL issue. Capacity that is "useable" to me would be a rather large factor. Now were back to short vice long action, magazine lenght, and throating. I don't shoot cases full of water with no seated bullets. Still have to match the magazine and throat.
6.5X65 RWS and 6.5X68S have even a larger capacity.
I think the 260 is a great round, is it better than a 6.5X55 Swede? up to 140 I think they are the same. One short action one long. Beyond 140g then no the Swede will do better. Do you need a heavier bullet than a modern 140g in a 6.5? Not sure, but the 6.5X55 Swede will do it better than a 260 Remington.
