[QUOTE="Pmacc60, post: 2160489, member: 64018"] I think that the 260 rem and the 6.5 CM were created of two different worlds . The 260 was developed to give deer hunters a light recoiling hunting cartridge that got picked up by the long range competitive shooting world. Remember at the time when Remington introduced the 260 the .264/6.5 was not very popular with the American hunter. The 6.5 CM was developed for the long range shooter that was around for a long while until Hornady marketed brilliantly for the hunting public. Lets not be so hard on Remington , they started from a completely different place with the 260 than Hornady . Hornady had someone take advantage of the 6.5 niche with great performance in the competitive arena and marketed the super cartridge with the killer name the Creedmoor ! It even sounds like a mans rifle , got me a Creedmoor don’t need anything else! Also it’s noteworthy that the CM was around for years before it took off. Faster twist rates , longer bullets and a longer necked case combined with the success in the long range community created the perfect storm and Hornady didn’t miss. Truth is Remington probably would have blown the marketing on this as they have through the past decades ,! [/QUOTE]
