If you really want to split hairs, it is an improvement on a 260 because you can seat bullets further out, it recoils less than a 308 and at long ranges many put forth a solid argument that it does have a bit of an advantage, and is also a short action cartridge. That is a pretty darn good package.

Yes you can seat bullets slightly longer, but as you say, it is splitting hairs, hairs that the average hunter will never notice. Then again, I was able to seat bullets to the lands in my 260, and they still fit the magazine. As to the short action , some consider saving 2 or 3 ounces to be an advantage, but to me, that few ounces is not something that I worry about.
