Sorry normie for the steel an cut an paste of your info..........
As the title suggests I did a ladder test recently with my 22" .260 and below are the results.

Load details:
OAL 2.865" (mag length)
140gr A-Max
.260 Lapua Brass
CCI BR Primer
Hodgdon Hybrid 100V Powder

41gr - 2556
41.5gr - 2583
42gr - 2632
42.5gr - 2704
43gr - 2693 (1st shot after letting barrel cool for a little while)
43.5gr - 2744
44gr - 2797
44.5 - 2879 (Definitely load too hot. Major extractor mark and tight bolt lift)

Going by the little loss is speed you are saying norway that shows me the smaller case of the 260 beating an lasting longer than your 6.5-284 witch i think personally is a pig or a cal apart from in a longer target barrel shorter barrel may as well go smaller better counterpart
