[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1394179, member: 87243"] I have a .260 AI, and my cousin has a 6.5x284. I have a 29" krieger 4 groove barrel, standard palma contour (very similar but slightly heavier than a sendero or rem varming but a longer neck), with a modified Bell & Carlson Medalist stock, Harris bipod, Triad tactical stock pack, PTG Stealth bottom metal with a fully loaded Alpha 10 round mag that lets me load out to 2.975" OAL, and Vortex Viper 6.5-20 scope it weighs 14 lbs, and is built on a rem short action. As far as potential accuracy, they are both outstanding. For barrel life, the .260 AI will be slightly better. And YES, the is a benifit in a .260 AI, and that is the fact that I have 12 firings on my brass and have only trimmed once, and I have a significant performance gain. My rifle is a half MOA or less shooter with Berger 140's, which it sends at 3070 fps with cci br-2's, Lapua brass and 49.1 grains or Reloder 26.
