I hate that i can't answer for the two calibers above, but i do own a .260 remington and it's a great round. That being said i'm wanting to rechamber my LR rig (currently in .308) to 6.5x47L. That 30 degree shoulder is just a trade mark for accurate rounds. You can't go wrong with either, i dislike that you'd be subject to Hornady brass for the creedmoor where as with the .260 you can use lapua, nosler, winchester, etc. and with the 6.5x47L your stuck with Lapua brass but lapau brass is great. Out of curiosity what barrel length are you planning on running?
