What can your 6.5 creedmore do that my .260 can't?

Why would you do that?
This is not hard. The PRC drives bullets faster and uses more powder. That equates to more recoil and less barrel. Period.
It’s a great design. But let’s face it. If it was a resounding success you’d be moaning about it to.
This is very evident in many of these discussions. People look at a chart that lists muzzle velocity and proclaim the one with the highest velocity "better" without looking at other factors. It's almost comical.
Not all CM chambered rifles are hunting rifles though. And who doesn’t want accuracy anyway?
I feel at a total disadvantage with my $450 lightweight 100+ year old designed rifle and ancient 6.5x55 cartridge. I should definitely go out and spend $1000-$2000 on a brand new setup that shoots similar but slower lol.
This isn't even a developed load, just thrown together to zero.
I do have a CM that's coming out for another go today. But after shooting the 6.5x55 for 20 years I really see nothing impressive with the 6.5CM at all other then the marketing and buy-in.

That rifle be a long action, right?
Well.... I'm going to declare my Rem700 6.5CM barrel a lemon, didn't shoot any better in the B&C stock today, tried several different powders and bullets and nothing was impressive. Good thing is I'm not at all attached to the cartridge so I will have no problem dumping the dies, brass, and rifle lol. I got better cartridges in the same cal, and better rifles in bigger and smaller cals.
7mmRem shot well, I swapped the brake out and wanted to see if POI changed....not even a hair. 3 rounds out of a terrible LONG ACTION belted mag... garbage lol.

My CM rifle experience is only 150 rounds so far. The combo has already proven to be one of the most consistently accurate, and least fussy to load for, rifles I've owned. Including a handful of custom builds. Due to detachable magazine constraints, load work up consisted of charge weights only. None of the usual tweeks for accurate loading. First powder/bullet tried.
Some targets from my last range trip. Only 3 shot groups, but we are talking hunting rifles, right? It always groups like this, so at this point, I'm comfortable with the sample size. Hah.
6x scope. 100 meters. For reference- target grid is 1 centimetre.
