I wouldn't buy hi end brass if your gonna shoot coyotes and deer, it will just get lost in the field. Hornady brass is the cheaper mentioned. A coyote, deer or gong aint gonna know the difference between a 6.5 C or a 260.

I think I would have gone with a .243 but thats me :)

I hear you, but I'm gonna anyway. I'm gonna develop and tune a load, and collect the brass, and tumble it, yada yada yada.... Likely unnecessarily, but I'll still do it....

I thought about .243. If I didn't have about 1600 6.5mm bullets in my reloading room I might consider it.
 
For what it's worth it has been mentioned on the hide a few times that lapua will be announcing 6.5 creedmoor brass at 2016 shot show.

Its all good, 6.5 creedmore or 260 would be fun, heck anything in a modern hunter is awesome Canadian coolness. Enjoy the rifle!!

That's true. I have "fairly high" precision in my 6.5x47 and .338. They're not f-class, but they're damn good... The MH is a different beast... Part for hunting, part for fun, part "damn cool that it's CDN!!"

I think this question can be answered pretty simply:

Do you reload:

A) Yes - choose .260
B) No - choose 6.5 Creedmoor

Both calibers are extremely close in ballistics, and either will win you comps or ring steel. It's so close its not worth 3 pages of discussion.
 
I have a couple of .260's so keep that in mind.

What I'm not understanding (not the first time) is what the 6.5cm going to do that my .260 won't? I have a single shot and a repeater built for different games but both will shoot tiny groups easily enough and both shoot very accuratly a long ways off.

Having said that from everything I can tell is pick one and don't second guess your decision....impossible to go wrong with either.
