I think the .260 is fairly popular, and gaining some ground. But, there are a LOT of 6.5s that compete for the love. There are some decent factory loads, but handloads really shine, so that is probably another factor. At 200 yards, I could not get any factory loads to group under 2" when my handloads are all under 1". Whoever decided to load a Trophy bonded bearclaw in the .260 should be whipped.
It is also surrounded by other "favorites" like the .243, .257R, .25-06, .270. While I think the .260 is at the top of the class in the .24 to .28 caliber standard calibers, there is just too much competition for one to outpace any other by a great deal.
