I am looking at a Ruger No.1 SST laminated stock,in 6.5 Creedmore.What is a 6.5 Creedmore? and where can I find a ammo maker and ballistics chart.
False.Basically a shorten 260rem to load longer and heavier .264" bullets without impeding case capacity.
False.
Since the ballistics performance of 6.5 CM and .260 Rem is essentially identical, the availability of brass and factory loads for the .260 makes it more versatile in my opinion.November 2009 Update!
I'm still shooting my original (2006) .260 Remington barrel on my AI-AW 2.0, and it's still performing great. I used the same gun, barrel, and cartridge to win matches in late Summer 2009 that I used in 2006 to win the Steel Safari. I gave back the Tubb gun in 6.5 Creedmoor (and its owner got rid of the 6.5 Creedmoor barrel), and I sold the 6.5x47 Lapua barrel for my AI-AW.
In the end, neither of these new upstart cartridges did anything for me that the .260 didn't. With the new Reloder 17 powder, I am now launching the 139gr Scenar at just over 2900 fps from my 26" Rock Creek barrel. Some of my associates are shooting a load using this powder at 2980 fps; however, the large firing pin hole in my AI-AW does not allow this.
