[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 580980, member: 34818"] Either will do if you are just going to shoot out to 600. The 260 is just gonna be a little more forgiving out at the longer ranges. If you are going to go with the 06 at those ranges then you are going to want to go with a 115 gr bullet and up with a good BC. The 260 is gonna out do the 2506in velocity at anything over around 300 yds and further and it is going to beat the 06 in energy anytime. If I were you, I would go with the 260 just for the sake of the awesome BC of the 6.5 mm bullets and the extra energy at the longer ranges. Plus, once you get a deer at 600 you won't be happy with just 600. You will want to go 700 then 800 and the 260 can do a deer in at those ranges too but not the2506 . [/QUOTE]
