Quite the shooter.  I like it.  Kreiger is at the top of my list for a 6.5 barrel.  In your opinion is their a reason to go .260 over 6.5 Creedmor in the AR 308 platform?

got 1/4 MOA average on the ARFcom all day long challenge

that is my best group ever, but I can get 1/4-1/3 MOA all day without trying too hard.
I rushed the groups a bit for the challenge because of weather moving in and got the bbl a bit hot
but it still only opened up to .4xx for a couple shots.
couple more 5 shot cold bore groups
(POI change is from scope adjustments.)


and some real world use

I don't usually take pics of groups other than when I'm doing load workup, but I took this pic when walking out to reset plates:



504 yards, group just under 3".  First four shots on that plate.

ive been reading about this a lot lately and can not come up with a worthy conclusion that one is better then the other.  the 6.5 has a small edge being shorter and not having issues being loaded in a standard mag. but thats about all ive found which could possibly sway a choice.

they are pretty close ballistically so I think that is a wash.
I went with the .260 for a couple of reasons.
the rifle and mags are made for .308 win, and the .260 is just a necked down .308 so reliability (IMO)is a bit higher
the less drastic shoulder angle is also inherently more reliable and smoother feeding in a semi.
(i'm not saying the CM is NOT reliable, but all things being equal, the .260 has an edge)
a big one is that as component supply has fluctuated over the last several years, I can always get .260 brass by
taking ANYthing in the .308 family and necking it up or down to .264 with ease.

THEY say that the CM is better in a semi because it can load the 140gr bullets to mag length
however I run primarly the 140gr Berger VLDs to mag length just fine with the .260.

it is one of the prototype REPR's from DPMS. I worked there when they were being worked up and I made
one up for myself.  relevant bits;
one off Kreiger SST 24" bull bbl, chambered for 140gr VLD rounds.
trued DPMS chromed BCG
JP adjustable gas block
customized DPMS 2 stage trigger
matched DPMS upper and lower.
Nikon Monarch 4-16x50

Very impressed with both the shooting and the ability to build a semi auto capable of those groups.  A good barrel is important, but it takes a lot more than a good barrel to do that.  I share the same opinions about the 260 vs 6.5 cm debate, but it's much harder to argue with someone getting the kind of performance you are  THEY cranked up the marketing to 11 for the 6.5 cm while the 260 Remington survives on it's own merits and that is the only significant difference between the two.

I also recently shot the moa all day challenge.  I was happy with the score I fired, but after I was done I had 9 rounds left so I went ahead and fired these 2 groups.  First group is 5 shots and the damn flyer is the last round of the group.  The second group is only 4 shots.

I'm more proud of this one though.  This is my wife shooting at the same 861 yard location again with her same ar15, but on a different day with some of the most brutal winds I think we've shot this far in with a 223.  This time was with a 10" plate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20bhecqkYbE

Here are our logs from that video so you get an accurate idea of what happened.  At the time I could see the hits, but had no idea where at on the plate.  That is why we didn't adjust elevation down to try and hit closer to center of the plate.  We were trying to shoot during the let offs those gusts were brutal.  I didn't have my 260 with us.  We were collecting the initial data on her new barrel so this was the first time at distance with the new barrel as well.  We were out the day before though to check zero at 100 yards and then tested at 200 yards and 410 yards.

In the first 25 rounds of load work up on a brand new Bergara HMR pro 6.5. Easily the most accurate rifle I have ever fired  pic below is 3 shots at 100 yards. IIRC the best 5 shot has been .35” at 100
