[QUOTE="RuffHewn, post: 7093, member: 1358"] The .260 Rem is the .308 and .243 case necked to .264", 6.5mm. I was extremely impressed with a Savage 10FP in .260Rem some time back. Winchester short-actions are longer than Remington short-actions and handle the 6.5-284 just fine. The downside is it takes more shop time for a gunsmith to correct the lugs and recesses on a Winchester. The 6.5-284 has slightly more recoil than a .260Rem but both are very mild in 14 lbs rifles.
