Everybody needs to lighten up. It’s just my stab at a little humor!!!! Glad you got a kick out of it!Whew....you almost got me.
I was getting riled up until I reached #6 & #7.

Interesting to note that some old Reloading Manuals (Speer for example) had many Safe “Mid Range” loads that are now considered Very Hot or over Maximum compared to today’s Reloading Manuals. Looks like a lot of data that was considered Safe back in the 1970’s & 80’s could now today be considered Hot or over Max. Of course we shot hundreds or thousands of those loads back in the day with good results.

What all the various 6.5 cartridges have in common are the .264 diameter bullets. At all the different velocities of the cartridges the .264 dia hunting bullets have excellent Ballistic Coefficients and outstanding Sectional Densities. They perform and kill above their pay grade.
Tikka basically shims their long action mags in the rear for the short cartridges.Is Tikka still making their rifles on long actions ?
If so...wonder if their magazines allow that additional room to shine through to the handloader wanting to almost jam those Bergers on the lands ????
Neither does a CM.I don't think it would have made a difference.
The 260 came out pre internet age and doesn't do anything a 308 or 243 does
I guess you missed the CDC memo that came out about 12-15 years ago. It said the effectiveness of the .270 had dropped off to almost non-lethal levels. They recommended the 6.5 CM booster.I sure hope my old single shot 270 will still kill deer and other assorted critters and varmints.
.260's are hard to find. I have one, and a CM. They are both deer killers.Why not a 260 Remington?

If I owned a 7mm Rem Mag, I don't think I'd bother getting a 6.5 Creedmoor.
