Elite Hunter Tipped ammunition gives the serious sportsman unmatched long-range accuracy, combined with devastating on-target performance in the field.

I would guess there’s an error between the 6.5 creedmore and the .260 Rem. Both have the exact same projectile and only 30 feet per second difference in noted velocity, but it shows the slower .260 Rem as having 651 more ft/lbs of energy. Something is off, probably typo or such.

Found it: .260 Rem is supposed to read 2295 ft/lbs rather than the 2995 that’s noted.
