See DealThe .260 Remington Ammo started its life as a wildcat cartridge called the 6.5-08 and finally got released as a commercial cartridge by Remington even though they were not the first to standardize the cartridge. It has the .308 Winchester as its parent case, and this is necked down to make it capable of accepting a .264 caliber bullet with no change to its case.
