[QUOTE="calib, post: 935359, member: 43333"] Mudrunner, I recently won a 6.5 creedmore chambered barreled action from benchmark as you probably read on lro, my 260 ai barrel should be here next week. I love the ackley's, but you can not really compair factory chambered rounds to a wildcat and say who is more popular or who will last longer. Over all in my shoots i put on i have seen more and more guys go to the 6.5mm, i think we all can agree there is great things to be had with that. Now they say the 260 and the creedmoor are near twins, just some features differ a little. That one you can argue for a long time, but the creedmoor does have a huge following that is growing fast and there is a lot of support in that. The 260 over all is faster, yes, but that does not meen it is better. When i won the creedmoor guys told me i wont like it cause its slow, but everything else i have heard is easy to load for, no fire forming, light recoil, factory brass, rounds and rifles and much more. I am making the 260 ai for a carrying weight deer, elk, coyote, or whatever gun at about 11 lbs or so. This will get a 140 out there a little faster, hit a little harder and help buck the wind a little better. But i would not go and shoot this at a tactical/sniper match like i won the creedmoor at. 200 rounds in one day with average shots at 425. The slower, verry accurate creedmoor would be the way to go. The brass thing is near a wash for the 260/ creedmore, bullets are same, powders, primers etc, but you can buy manufactured for both, though i am not sure of match 260. I know you could shoot the 260 ammo in your 260 ai chamber, but them you have to reload. Back to the main question, i say keep the 300, and shoot out your 308 or shoot it tell you get tierd of it and look for a little more and then re barrel it to the 6.5 in what ever cartridge you like, but i dont think you can go wrond re loading the 260 cartridge or the creedmore and get what you are looking for.
