[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1394209, member: 12995"] Both have just as good a chance in accuracy, as accuracy has more to do with the rifle and barrel, than it does the cartridge it's chambered for. In all honesty, the 6.5x284 is going to have the velocity advantage, but barrel life is not going to be anywhere near as the .260 AI. Personally, I would go with a .260 AI. Cartridge design of the AI has many advantages, including a better designed shoulder, better wall taper, better pressure handling, a more efficient burn, and less case trimming/growth. As for barrel length, I prefer a 26" for each, with a 1:8 twist. As for barrel contour, I like the Rem Varmint/Sendero contour. Best twist rate for both will be a 1:8 twist. Personally, I like the .260 AI, but to each, his own. [/QUOTE]
