[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1354332, member: 10291"] While I own and like the 260/AI, I much prefer the case design of the 6.5x284 for the sweet spot of 3000FPS/140 gr load for LR hunting. Barrel life has been beaten to death with this round, but I have not found it to be much different then its counterparts when subjected to comparable shooting conditions and used with slow burning powders. With Lapua or Norma cases it's exceptionally accurate, and the cases last for 12+ loadings. I have been forever plagued by short case life/premature loosening of primer pockets with the design of the 308 case and its derivatives...keeping pressures within spec....regardless of the brass manufacturer. For competition/PRS/mid range hunting I really like the 6.5x47 Lapua with a 130gr at 2900FPS. [/QUOTE]
