[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1189159, member: 68875"] I shoot two .264/6.5 cartridges. A 6.5 SLR in a 15# LR rifle. Pushes a 140 HVLD @ 2960fps from a 27.5" barrel into .2s with boring regularity, mid .1s or less on occasion. With the brake, it recoils like my .223. In a little over a year, I have about 850 rounds on it. This is a hilltop glassing rifle for shots on deer out to 1000 or so. We shoot it out to 1700+ with good results. 1300 is easy. A .260 Rem in a 10.5# rifle fully dressed. Pushing a 140 HVLD @ 2900 from a 26" barrel into .3s. This is my carry rifle for shots out to 800 if needed. It will hold its own with the 6.5 SLR on steel to 1370+. Haven't shot it to a mile...yet. I have daydreams of building a third rifle in either 6.5 RSAUM or 6.5-06 AI. Then maybe a 6.5 STW.....or 26 Nosler..... [/QUOTE]
