[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 581688, member: 29890"] Well I'm a huge 26 cal fan and have nothing against the 260 other than the fact remington snatched the rights to it out from under A-square. But the 6.5x284 has only a couple equals that are commercial and that's the 6.5 rem mag, 264 win mag, and 6.71 Lazz phantom, with a 26" or longer barrel the 6.5x284 has an easy 250fps advantage over the 260 with all else being equal. I have had sub half moa groups over 3100fps, some approaching 3200 with Imr4350 in a 30" barrel but backed the charge down to get the ES I wanted for my bench gun, which doesn't have to be in the single digits with a hunting rifle, so with a longer barrel and slower powders like RE22, H1000, mag pro, reumbo, etc... well over 3100fps is very doable, and as a hunting rifle may last as long as 1500+ rounds, barrel life can also be extended buy using a cut rifled barrel or 5R 5C style. The 3 groove Lilja is one of the better ones as well. [/QUOTE]
