You can read all about .260 in these articles

article | 6.5mm Shootout: .260 Remington vs. 6.5x47 Lapua vs. 6.5 Creedmoor
Short answer: .260 Remington is just .308 necked down to 6.5 mm. You can buy .260 Remington brass off the shelf from Remington and Nosler. You can also form it very easily from anything in the ".308" family, such as .243, 7mm-08, and .308, usually by just running it through a resize die.
Here is the .260 rifle I shot at this match in 06 and 07:
