[QUOTE="jeffersonv, post: 243343, member: 4455"] Hey Hyper, I don't have a problem with you. I'm sorry it might appear we have our differences. I bet we would agree a lot more than we would disagree, and I have studied and appreciated your input on the .260, and it has made me a greater fan. Anyway, yes I believe you can hand load a very similar cartridge (.260) to higher velocity than a factory loading in the Creedmoor. I don't think anyone on this forum would be surprised at that. Do you suppose a Creedmoor can be hand loaded to similar velocities to a hand loaded .260? I do. To quote someone who I believe is fairly competent, and has had experience with both cartridges, and speaking of the Creedmoor, "My best guess is that it would match or slightly exceed .260 Remington, but the variance would be within what we see barrel to barrel. " This from Zak Smith who also has this to say about the .260, "My .260 was finished just a few weeks before the 2006 Blue Steel Ranch Steel Safari, where I won both the overall and the "standard/unlimited" rifle class shooting at small steel targets spread out in the terrain from about 50 to 1000 yards. I returned shooting the same rifle in 2007, again winning "standard/unlimited." The 260 gives a palpable advantage over .308. " Not bad eh? Oh, congrats on the deer! [/QUOTE]
