[QUOTE="coopersguide, post: 2341616, member: 86473"] THANKS JM and AR and all - appreciated comments. Using a Model 7 action as I want to get rid of an old Model 7 rifle in 260 that will not shoot. I had a Remage barrel in 280 AI put on an old 700 BDL action and I love it - first rifle (only) rifle I have that consistently shoots under 1/2" and kept me pursing accurate rifles so I am partial to a 260AI but not locked in. Do you think it would be better to just stick with a 260 Rem. (I will use it as my go to western deer rifle - do not want to loose much more velocity / weight - nothing less then a .264). Would a 6.5 CM cycle better? My 280 AI likes a lot of jump with Barnes 150 gr. ttsx's but I do not want to limit my overall length ability in a 260 AI if it will not cycle in a Mod. 7 action. Unfortunately I already bought 260 mod. dies.... but can return / sell... [/QUOTE]
