Well, title says it all. Thinking of building a custom rifle, and I am torn between these two cartridges.
I know there are pros and cons for both. Biggest pro for .260 Rem as far as i'm concerned is brass types. More options than 6.5 creedmoor. (I would use Lapua)
Biggest pro for 6.5 Creedmoor is the longer overall length possibility, with almost as much powder capacity. Biggest con is only Hornady makes brass for it. I don't dislike Hornady brass, but with only one supplier, leary about supply.
The intent for this rifle is F-Class Open. I plan to build from a Remington 700 action, Douglas barrel, at least 26", Nightforce 8-32x56. Stock, and small parts are still tbd.
Chime in with your thoughts, comments, etc. Not really considering other cartridges at this point, but throw them out with your reasons regardless.
