    Take a look at the 6.5 Super LR:

    6.5 Super LR

    Improved 260 with no fireforming required. Dean Maisey has reamer.

    Would it be worth the hassle when 260 and 6.5 Creedmoor are almost as good, but can get factory ammo and don't need custom dies?
    Would be worth considering as an alternative to 260AI, no fire forming sounds good.

    No fire forming is not exactly true. You still have to pump the shoulder out to 30deg and lengthen the neck. What they mean by that statement on the website is, you can either fire factory 260 or standard reloaded 260 in that chamber, use it for hunting or what ever and it will be formed. You can also do this for the 40deg version but it usually takes 2 firings to properly form that case.
