[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1432990, member: 41338"] No. If you got the gun, the dies and probably a few more things, and it's "doing the job", then why mess with it? The 260 has a bit more steam and that can be helpful considering that when finding an accuracy load, it's usually under max. It's like playing guitar. A very good guitar is going to be more than adequate up to the point that you've archived "Mastery". Mastery tends to require thousands of hours of repetition and practice. Now a 6x47 has less recoil and flys good and that can be a thing but if your 260 is bang'in... just down-load it if you want a 6.5x47. It's like bunt cake and bunt cake lite-sugar. Whatever... The big difference is powder capacity and primer size. That's an economics question and if your worried about economics... give up PRS and get a second job in the evenings. Oh... you'd be a lot further ahead by delivering pizzas than shooting PRS. 6.5x47, 6.5 Creed, 260... they more or less fly the same. Me... I like the 6.5x47. Not because I'm a scientist. I dig things like a good dog with a skip in it's walk, that loves hunting and looks at me like I look at it. Unless the 260 is some kind of pig... just shoot it and love it. [/QUOTE]
