[QUOTE="liltank, post: 754269, member: 13275"] You are correct. The 260 will definetely have more recoil than the 6.5x47 and a lot more than the 6BR. But between all the ones mentioned, none are really that bad with the 6BR being the lightest. All the calibers mentioned would benefit from a 26" or longer tube, but the 260 and 6.5x47 would also do well in a shorter barrel. I think you'll see these calibers top gains in a 26-28" barrel. All calibers listed will do very well with a 1:8 twist. The exception would be the 6BR if you want to shoot 115 grain bullets. Then it would be suggested to go to a 1:7 or 1:7.5 twist. If your up for the challenge, then I would suggest going to accurateshooter.com and read up on the 6BR improved versions. The 6 Dasher has been a good caliber for 1000yd shooting. Another option that would require very little work is the 6mm-250 Remington. It is a 22-250 Remington simply necked up to a 6mm. I've been told by a very competent gun builder on this sight that it is very efficient and easier on barrels than the 6XC or .243. To me that puts it in the 6 Dasher arena without having to fire form shoulders or anything. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
