Reynolds- make a case for the 6.5 creedmoor being superior to the .260 rem and Ill be open minded about it. I know lots of people swear by it to be the best 6.5/.264 there is but I dont see it. There were already so many other good 6.5 calibers out there before the creedmoor came on the scene. This is entirely my opinion and I may be completely bass ackwards in my thinking but for hunting purposes, which is about 75% of what I do with my rifles, the creedmoor has to take a backseat to the .260, 6.5x55 swede, and .264 wm. The .260 is the only short action of those 3 so thats why it was the one in consideration for the rebarrel. I challenge you, make me a believer of the Creedmore.
