[QUOTE="the shotty, post: 550722, member: 27217"] That sounds pretty hot paticularly for a creed, I'm not running a custom action mind you so my tolerance levels aren't what they could be; but in my 26 inch barrel savage Target hot loads run me in the 2910 fps range before I pop primers. (this may change when I switch to lapua brass rather than RP). Again I'm not down playing the .260 or creed but according to shooter balistics cal you need about 2870 fps to reach the levels you post which may be difficult out of such a short barrel but ymmv. Also, again as most hunters prefer to keep +- 1000 ft lbs the min for deer size game that limit is about 780 yards which would also put you about 1800 fps ( which to my memory is min velocity recommended by berger, but I could be wrong on this?). I'm not trying to insult you or get into an argument just trying to help. I think you would be very close to what you would want in a 6.5-300wsm, 6.5-284 if staying with the 6.5 cal whatever you decide I will be interested as to what route you go and what your results end up gun).
