[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 936508, member: 30902"] Welcome TS. The two calibers are completely different animals If you want to do a lot of shooting the 26 has a major drawback which is going to be barrel life. It is a true hot rod and if you shoot it a lot it's going to burn out fast and young. As a hunting caliber though the several hundred extra FPS it offers over the other 6.5's including the 6.5-284 will come in very handy. I've got one on order from Nosler which will be a light carry rifle and I'm building another on a Model 70 action that will be a heavy dedicated LR Rig for me. There's definitely a place for both of these calibers but since I already have a .260 and a .264wm I don't need the 6.5-284. [/QUOTE]
