Default RE: advantages of the .260?

Ruger 77MKII Mark II -6.5 x 55, Sako 75 Finnlight- 6.5 x 55, Tikka Whitetail Hunter- 6.5 x 55, Steyr Mannlicher Pro Hunter- 6.5 x 55,
Steyr Mannlicher Pro Hunter Stainless- 6.5 x 55, Model 70 Winchester Classic Featherweight -6.5 x 55, and replacement barrels in the Sweede round are easy to come by........It's really not very obscure at all. I believe both Remington and Savage will chamber this in their custom shops......but of course that would be an extra expense. I believe Remington actually built a good number of rifles in this caliber but dropped it after introducing the .260............. too much competition.
