6.5 CM fits in Magazines and holds 48.0 grains compared to 46.8 of H2O in the 260 seated with the same COAL:

The success of the 6.5 CM is more to do with the superior design that fits better in modern magazines as it will seat to the lands. As well Hornady have come out with great 143 factory hunting loads and 140 factory target loads. It looks like RL 26 will make it really perform.
Clearly an inferior design for the Heavy bullets:
