Not to denigrate dogtown in any way, but I’m not a fan of the 260.
It’s a short action 6.5 and does a nice job with short bullets due to the short action. The 6.5 creed is also a short action with less case capacity but has a better ability to use longer bullets. If you do a custom build then by all means go for the 260 but for most of us I’m leaning to the Creedmoor with its factory ammo and 100-250 less FPS.
I may be wrong on the FPS so do the research.
My opinion is get the long action and the 6.5×55 or a wildcat using its case. Even move up to the 6.5×284 with good brass (Lapua) and load down to save the bore.
