SOCOM Looking at .260 Rem and 6.5 Creedmoor Sniper Systems

[Kilco]

Interesting. I've only ever used a 260 Rem in the AR10 platform.. I remember when Hornady first advertised the 6.5 Creedmoor, one of the big pushes were it's disign was with semi-autos in mind.. I understand the shorter case would make performance tuning a little easier, but wouldn't the longer, less steep shoulder on the 260 Rem make it a more reliable feeding cartridge?

I've always been a 260 rem guy, never saw the need for a Creedmoor, but the amount of popularity it has brought to the .264 class as a whole is unsurpassed..
