[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2178100, member: 1521"] There is another angle to consider here: ACCURACY I'll just declare up front that accuracy is the most powerful of ballistic attributes. With this, long brass life and long barrel life better provide accuracy in the long run (instead of fleeting). The fastest powder filling a case for SAAMI max doesn't hurt (when comparing one capacity result to others). In 26cal, ~140gr bullets, ~28" barrel, I doubt you can better the overall performance(accuracy-wise) provided by 260AI capacity. There are many options to hit this capacity, in highly improved designs. Before you think I'm crazy: Consider it. Run the numbers. Long term, I can leave a 6.5x284 back in a ditch with my 26wssm imp, using way less powder. Same capacity(by design) as 260AI [/QUOTE]
