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

The difference in case capacity is tiny like he said but long bullets in the 260 take up more capacity than the 6.5CM leaving the Creedmoor with an advantage in useable capacity.

The way I look at it, the 6.5 CM and the 260 Rem can be loaded to the same OAL in a Rem 700 short action. The OAL limited by the magazine length.
Now take the 6.5 CM and move the shoulder ahead to the 260 Rem position, leaving the bullet where it is. How is this additional space a disadvantage? I think the 260 Rem has the advantage in usable capacity.
