[QUOTE="95huskers, post: 580165, member: 32061"] I am looking at building a custom gun in either a .260Rem or a 6.5-284 Norma to shoot 140gr Berger VLD Hunting bullets through. Most of my hunting is going to be on medium sized game (and long range coyotes) but would like the ability to put an elk down if absolutely needed.... though I'd likely have a .30 cal or 7mm cal gun if I ever go on an elk hunt. I guess my question is: is it a huge advantage to shoot the 140 grain VLD's through a 6.5-284 Norma versus a .260 Rem? I currently have a Savage 6.5-284 Norma and really like the caliber but am thinking if I get a custom rifle built I'd like the added barrel life a .260 offers. Fill me in guys, I'm still learning. The ballistics just look very similar to me in the two calibers. There has to be something I'm missing here... [/QUOTE]
