[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 587707, member: 25488"] Thanks a lot, I knew someone here could give me more details on it. I guess I will stick with the Berger. I want something specifically for a 6.5-284 but secondary use would be in my 6.5x55s, I have three of those. If it will not expand at all I have little use for it. I get right at 3200 fps from the Berger 130 in that 6.5-284 and would not be happy if I could get at least close to that from a similar bullet. It sounds like it has a thicker jacket than the berger and otherwise similar dimensions. I appreciate your input, you probably just saved me some money and some disappointment. THe Issue with the .260 is likely the twist rate as most of them (not custom) have a 1:9" twist and they would likely have problems with a bullet that long. my 6.5-284 has a 1:8" twist and my 6.5x55's are all european makes and have a faster twist than that.
