History of the .260 Remington Cartridge:

The .260 Remington actually began as the 6.5-08 A-Square but due to a lot of unknown reasons SAMMI let Remington get the credit and introduced it as the .260 Remington in 1996.

There are many different stories out there on the issue, you be the judge.The .260 Remington, aka 6.5-08 A-Square is basically a .308 Winchester (7.62 NATO) .308″ caliber case necked down to accept .264″ or 6.6mm projectiles.

This is a wonderful caliber still today, chambered not only in bolt-action rifles but also in AR-10 platforms.

As many new 6.5 calibers have recently gained in popularity so has this older favorite. Pushing velocities to app. 3,500 feet per second and energy close to 2,400 foot pound per square inch.
