6.5CM ream to 260REM?
Just out of curiosity, if I have a 6.5 Creedmoor AR10 barrel, would it be possible to ream it to 260 Remington?

No, The shoulder of the 6.5 is wider than the 260 so it would be gap in the new chamber. Just try to find a 260 barrel.

Why would you want to go from 6.5CM to .260 in an AR pattern?
While I prefer the .260 over the 6.5CM, the CM was largely a solution for magazine length issues in the AR patterns. |

Creedmoor's case is slightly bigger than the Remington just about everywhere.

Got my answer, though. Turns out X-Caliber makes .260 AR barrels for a good price.

Fair enough. When I had .260Rem in an AR pattern, I got the best results with the 123 and 130s.
