There is only a difference if you are paying attention.

I've never been offended by another cartridge offering.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

The swede will not do a damn thing that the 6.5 Creedmoor won't do-- if you insist on a short action-- don't get a 260 Fixed it for ya Technically I'd go Creed in a SA. That was the whole idea for the Creed. If I was building a .260, I'd use a medium length (3") action, fast twist barrel and shoot long bullets. Or modify a SA. DF

I can come up with four differences without thinking too hard: 1. Lots of cataloged firearms chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor compared to very few firearms cataloged in 260. 2. Lots of commercial ammunition options offered in 6.5 Creedmoor compared to few commercial ammunition options offered in 260. 3. 6.5 Creedmoor commercial ammunition widely available at high volume retailers like Wal-Mart compared to none in 260. 4. The shorter 6.5 Creedmoor case allows for longer VLD style bullets to fit in a 2.85" magazine box better than they do when loaded in the 260 case. When you're loading longer VLD style bullets there needs to be a balance between case length, bullet length, and magazine length. Or so it seems to me, a guy with 25 260s.

But you're being rational, not afflicted with CBHS.

I was at the store today looking for pistol ammo and saw that they have 30-30, 30-06, 270, 243, 223, 22-250, and da Creed. Was pretty shocked. If I were looking for another rifle right now I’d take a hard look at a Tikka so-chambered. Can’t imagine why not especially compared to the 25-06. CBHS indeed...

Went to Cabela's early last summer and was perusing the factory ammo shelf. They had one (1) factory load for the .260 with only three boxes of that present, but 15 different factory loads for the 6.5 Creedmoor with boxes stacked 8 or 9 high and two deep front to back for each load. Proof positive that the .260 Remington is so much more popular than the 6.5 Creedmoor that it sells out too quickly for a major retailer to even keep any ammo for it on the shelf. Well, there might be another reason...
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

There is only a difference if you are paying attention. Or want to buy ammo at a sporting goods store...........
