[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2160501, member: 67552"] The 260 Rem did not get "picked up" by the LR Comp world, quite the other way around. After a little success in the long range match arena by a well known gun writer (not the first to neck down the 308 to .264) Remington saw an opportunity for a very low cost cartridge introduction with built in media support. With 2 minutes of objective thought to realize there is zero downside to an 8 twist Vs. 9 but a huge downside the other way around (see lessons NOT learned 6mm Rem) they would have had a better start. Maybe 3 legit load offerings and some advertising and they had the market cornered. What they didn't have was LRH, FaceChat, or really internet in general. That is part of why it took the Creed 10 years. Hornadys words finally got out. [/QUOTE]
