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

Lots of competitors neck size. I don't need google to see the benefits. Reloading techniques are personal. What works works. The fact this video is of such a strong opinion, tells me he is from the same school of thought as you.--->"It works for me, so everyone must do it."
Please get over yourself. Thank-you.
What is with this “get over yourself” nonsense? Why is my argument about myself and yours about everyone else. The little people. The seemingly forgotten.
I think my opinion on this subject is pretty correct yes. That is why I went looking for information to back it up and thought David Tubb was a credible source to do that with. Which, until this thread, I had done zero research into the 6XC. Other than knowing it had a 30 degree shoulder. Those dies have me wanting one.

Do what I do: own all three in modern rifles (Tikka, Howa, etc.)! (6.5x55, 260, 6.5 Creedmore)
My 6.5x55 is still my favourite, but all three shoot about the same in the accuracy department. For hunting, Norma products for 6.5x55 are unbeatable.
If you can't decide, roll some dice!

This gets even better. Start at 11:00 minutes to hear about neck vs FL resizing.

I'm going to try and get my POS 6.5CM to shoot one more time. I didn't really focus on lighter bullets with faster powders.... just 140's with slow powders. Kind of defeats the purpose I got it for...long range target shooting, but if it shoots lighter pills half decent then I'll sub it in for the 308 on occasion.
I see Savage has a 12 in 6.5 for $550 at Cabela's... fairly ugly, but I bet it shoots.

You know what really works best? You get custom FL dies made for your custom cut chamber which was cut for a specific bullet and OAL. And you use only that, like sponsored professional shooters do.
Unfortunately for 99% of us schmoes, we get production guns and production dies, and try to get that to work the best we can.
From what I've seen on the reloading forum here, all this "neck sizing sucks, you have to FL size like the pro's do" has caused more newer loaders to have case separation then I've seen in nearly 20 years on CGN.
You know what neck sizing does? It removes human error in oversizing brass, and saves about $150 in gear to properly and safely FL size with production dies for production rifles.
How is it wrong when a newb is simply following the instructions that came with the die set?
Custom dies and chambers are how the pro's do it, anything else is half assed Chucky, thought you would at least know that.
