thndrchiken the 6.5x55 Swede or the .257 Roberts are both faster rounds and they have very little recoil as you say ,But They are all .264 cal so if you can load 160gr in the 6.5x55 then you could load it for the 260 rem. Its one of those guns you wonder why they developed it ,when it is listed under everthing close to it .
To my way of thinking there aren't any advantages to it there are to many guns better than it is .
