[QUOTE="C Harrison, post: 1006344, member: 76871"] Interesting point of view. Despite the 260 having a slight velocity advantage in all bullet weights. Then the 260 functioning better in semi guns from the shoulder angle being more forgiving. None of the VLD bullets regardless of manufacture fit to 2.810 and Remington 700 SA magazine length with AI mags gets you to 2.9ish which makes the 140 VLD still limited at seating depth in both calibers. So the 140 VLD in both calibers may be better suited for a long action if one were to maximize OAL and powder capacity. To say the CM is the 260 done right is a real stretch. That is like saying the 243 is the 6mm done right. [/QUOTE]
