Hasn't been any threads on that subject for a while, at least a few hours. Quick search might bring up one or two on that subject.

Re: Next Bolt Gun Build
Those are all great cartridges. 260 and 6.5 are virtually identical. Choosing between a 6.5/260 and a 300WM should be pretty easy if you know what you are going to use it for, and your criteria.

Re: Next Bolt Gun Build
Was in that same boat a while ago, wanting something a little different to work with. I ended up going with a 6.5x47 Lapua, build should be done in the next week or two hopefully!

Re: Next Bolt Gun Build
My build in 6.5 creedmoor is currently at the gunsmith. Badger M2008 Action, Bartlein barrel getting threaded/cut at 26", and a huber concepts trigger.
Between 6.5 and 260 I would say go creedmoor as there is factory ammo easily available along with brass and everything. 300 win mag is a completely different animal it hits harder then the 6.5 but if you are just punching paper and shooting competition the creedmoor will be about as flat as the 300 win mag it just doesn't hit as hard the 300 win mag will also recoil a lot harder and will be more expensive to shoot. So as for which caliber to go with decide your end use and it should answer the question for you.

Re: Next Bolt Gun Build
If you reload go 260 bc many more brass options if not go 6.5 creedmoor as the factory ammo is very good and cheap.
