[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1079824, member: 86754"] I killed some game with the .260/Hornady 129sp and later on the same rifle was rechambered to the 6.5x284. Since it was a Mod 700 short action, I only used the Nosler 120Bt/125P in it. The kills were far more spectacular from the 6.5x284 than the .260. I read where the .260 AI will run right with the 6.5x284. I just had a Mod 7 rebarreled and thought I'd like to do the 260AI but thought I'd try the 6.5 Creedmoor as the Mod 7 is just a tad shorter than the Mod 700SA. It sure feeds a lot better than the 22-250 Ackley it used to be! I really don't think the heavy bullets are that much better than the 120/129 weight for the game you are talking about. My 120BTs were going 3200 in my 6.5x284 and it was just an awesome killer, and was really good in the wind too. However, I never shot anything with it over about 320 yds or so. I love the Ackley cases, but they can be a Royal pain to feed sometimes. Have a ball dude! [/QUOTE]
