[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 580478, member: 10291"] I also own both and if you optimize load and seating depth for both with each you can get the 260 within 100-150fps to the 6.5x284. The 260 max load at extended seating is about 45gr. of H4350 , compared to 59 gr of Retumbo in the 6.5x284 will give better barrel life out of the 260. My own experience is that this difference in velocity could actually be greater as a result of finding the best accuracy. Both my 6.5x284's developed top accuracy at or close to the velocity max. Not so with my 260. Could just be my rifle. All that being said, I like the 260 for targets and competition with velocities in the 2800-2850 range. I use my 6.5x284's for hunting. They are both consistent .25-.5 MOA rifles and I have had great success with several one shot kills out to 1000 yards. I generally think of 260 as a 700 yard hunting rifle, and the 6.5x284 as a 1000 yard one. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
