Tripledeuce Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I heard from a friend, who made carbon fiber bbls, that the hornady favtory ammo was shooting less than .4 from several rifles from the bench at 100. That was when he and I were discussion the merits of the 260 vs the 6.5 creedmore. Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 is a 260 shorter then a 270?Yessirree!The highly vaunted .270 is based on the .30-06 case, the .260 is in the .308 Win family and a better 308-style AR candidate.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripledeuce Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Actually, the 6.5 creedmore is based on the 300 savage, with the sholder set back, Its almost identical to the "old" 6,5 international, that Elgin Gates came up with 30 years ago.

hobbesgunner Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 My LR 6.5 is crazy accurate with about everything I've shot through it....copy the recipe on the factory 140 Amax loads and its shoots 1/2 MOA with Amax, 139 Norma's and Lapua Scenar's....even shoots light bullets well,. 95 gr Vmax and 108 gr Scenar's are well under 1 MOA...read that the Creedmoor is easier on brass and you get comparable velocities with less powder compared to 260..don't know that from experience though..could be hearsay ...with a PRS Magpul and an Osprey 6-24 x 50 scope its a heavy beast.but I guess that's the price you pay....not gonna tote it around hunting squirrels anyhow....
