Comparing 6.5 Grendel to .260 Remington

[nincomp]

I mostly just like short, handy rifles. I know with .308, going shorter than 18 inches really drops velocity and makes huge fireballs.

The 260 will likely be worse, since it is based off the .308 but has less volume inside the barrel for the burning of the powder.

It is telling that in the article about the short-barreled .260, the owner wanted to put a sound suppressor on it.
