[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 171880, member: 4785"] [b]Apples Vs Oranges[/b] Hi you have to compare similar capacity cases to get true representations. So you would have to compare the 260 against the 7mm08 and the 6.5-284 against the 284win. If you look at F Class world wide there is a huge shift away from the 6.5-284 to the 284win and 7mm short mags. I believe you would be best suited with a 284win I know it was not lisred but if you were prepared tonuse the 6.5-284 case neck it back to where it belongs 7mm. I have shot one for 4 years in F Class and it is much better than a 6.5 in fish tail winds and double the bareel life. The 7mm08 is just under sized for the projectiles and the 284win is about perfect. I shoot the 168gr sierrs and 175gr sierra both with H4831SC and 57gr and 54gr respectively the 168gr at 1000yds is actualy 2moa=20" higher on the target and requires less windage the BC is much higher than published and is on parr with the A Max. The velocity for the 168gr is around 2960fps while the 175gr is around 2850fps in a 9 twist 30" barrel. I tried so,e Wildcat 200gr ULD RBBT projectiles on saturday with 54gr H1000 and the loads wewe fine bet did not stabalize I have an 8 twist on order. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
