The 6.5 proponents keep harping on component availability.
6.5 and .260 use the SAME BULLET
Brass can be found. .260 is EASILY formed from .24e, 7-08 and .308
6.5 can be MADE from the same, but not just a resize.
Primers are SAME
Powders are SAME
What part makes 6.5 components MORE available? Just asking.
If you have and like 6.5Cr, more power to you.
OP asked about hunting. .260 handles 120-140 gr bullets very well. 6.5 was resigned, marketed, loaded for long range target.
The OP requirements make .260 the obvious choice. Reloading narrows the load, but .260 still wins.
