out of a shorter barrel the velocities would be closer but 260 still has a higher operating pressure and 20 grains of extra capacity so it will still have a velocity edge over the grendel though it will not be as substantial with the shorter barrel though i would expect at least 100fps extra out of the 260
that said considering you plan to use the gun for "bushwhacking" which i interpret as short range hunting such as mostly under 100 yards but you are choosing a 6.5 for the potential to reach out to 3-400 should the need arise, in which case the grendel would do everything you need as far as medium game goes and on the inside of 100 shots the animal wont know the difference between 2400 and 2500fps
