[QUOTE="Locknload, post: 1611611, member: 20333"] I have a few 6.5s and am now building my 6th 6.5x08 this one in an AR-10 (avitar is 308 in new AR-10) to replace my last AR-10 T. I have been building 6.5-08s since about 2 years before the 260 existed. If you use an 8 twist with H-414 the 260 can duplicate the 6.5-06 within 100 fps. The 6.5-284 version is the exact same capacity as the 6.5-06 version, I have 2. They need at least a 26” barrel but you can not shorten a barrel and use a large capacity case, you must match case capacity to barrel length or you are wasting your time and not burning the powder. The 26” 06 cat will equal the 264 with a 24”. Ed [/QUOTE]
