favorbly.
really tho, its biggest draw back is its considered a bit long for a short action, they will work in a short action however.
the case is a bit bigger. when it boils rite down to it, the 260 and 6.5x55 are pea's in a pod, but the fact that the 6.5 has been doing it for over 100 years appeals to me. i like it over the 260 because it has class!
