I have read many people favoring the Redding type S (with bushing) FL Sizer for shoulder bumps and the Forster Ultra Micro Seater die. I love the Redding type S dies but have only used those on rifle reloading so no experience with others (except for pistol). I bought another Redding type S...

Everything I've seen is out of stock within minutes if not seconds... Makes it almost impossible to buy unless you don't sleep and keep refreshing your screen constantly.

I'm 6'6" and use the Slik 733 (with outdoorsmans pan head).

Very nice! Is that stock from the Kimber donor rifle as well...or another brand?

Congrats! What a cool place to draw an elk tag. I try every year...

I do know it is a 6.5 and that there are factory loads for it but there are waaayyy more options in 6.5 CM. Midway shows 24 options for .260 and 82 for 6.5 CM. I should have been more specific in explaining my reasoning. When I said I wanted to stay in 6.5 I was referring to vs. the 7mm-08 I...

Had a few busy days but getting back to this. So at first folks noted to stay away from the 6.5 PRC 16" flamethrower and the suggestions I received were 260, 6.5 CM and 7mm-08 mostly. The 260 would have been great but I didn't want to reload for this and since I wanted to stay in 6.5mm it...

Swarovski 15x56 but I live in AZ and those coues deer blend in very well. I've had a spotter in the past but don't currently use one. I carry 8x binos on my chest for quick looks and the 15x56 stay in my pack and I break them out with the tripod.

I just looked at: .260 Berger match grade 140gr at 2,789 vs 6.5 PRC Hornady Precision hunter 143gr @ 2,960. So a difference of 171 fps. I'm sure there are differences all over the board with handloading (which I've done) but for this purpose I used factory ammo info. Maybe I was wrong in...

Soooo...if I went with a 16" .260 over the 16" 6.5 PRC it appears I would loose about 170fps (at140gr). Not insignificant but is the trade-off of more efficient powder burn worth it? What else am I giving up ?

I absolutely appreciate the input on the action portion of the decision (and I'm serious, it is helpful) but let's assume I have the action in hand. What is your input on if I'm missing anything here if I went with a 16" .260 over the 16" 6.5 PRC? It appears I would loose about 170fps with a...
