[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1217774, member: 68875"] Between .260 & 6.5 CM, very comparable rounds. The benefit of .260 is the availability of Lapua brass. But the 6.5CM is a sweet round too. I don't think you will see much of a difference in performance. But the 6.5CM has some really good factory loads if you don't reload. The 6.5-06AI is a great suggestion too. You can load a 6.5-06AI DOWN to .260 velocities for longer barrel life, and still have a smoking hot hunting load developed too. I just finished ooad development for a gunsmith on a new 6.5-,270AI that pushes a 140 to 3151fps. I got speeds up to 3200, but not as accurate. No .260 Rem or 6.5 Creedmoor can touch those speeds. You will be lucky to see 2850-2900 out of a 26" barrel. But they will last a long time. [/QUOTE]
