.308 Win - 1:10 vs. 1:11.25

Thinking about getting a Seekins HIT rifle & noticed that their 308 has a 1 in 11.25 twist. My 700 AAC has a 1 in 10 twist which I really like. I generally shoot 178 gr. bullets & go out to 1000 yards. Will the 1 in 11.25 be fast enough?

260 Vs. 6.5 Creedmore

Thinking about getting a Seekins HIT rifle in either 260 or 6.5 Creedmore. Would be shooting PRS out to 1000 yards. Which cartridge is easier to develop accurate loads for? Leaning towards the 260 because I have a lot of 308 brass. Yes, I would buy brass for either, but if things ever get...
