[QUOTE="Pstores, post: 1014203, member: 58399"] I have a .260, 7mm-08 in shorter 22 1/2" barrels. And a 7mm in a 24". I like them all of the, favor the .260. I was looking at building anther rifle. Some just because and some I like shooting steel out to 600. And will soon transition to 1000. So, I was thinking of a 6.5-284. Also to double as a hunting rifle. But, I don't get any shots over 400. And most where I hunt are 355 yards to be almost exact. I love the light recoil of the .260 and 7-08. And that's why I tend to stay away from my 7mm. I have had the heavy .30 mags and can shoot them very well. But, as I am getting older I realize that a light kicking smaller rifle is just as good for what I hunt. Wisconsin whitetails and antelope. Occasional Mullie. My big question is. Real world reloading 130 and 140's is there an decent difference between the .260 and 6.5-284? Can you gain a couple hundred honestly and accurately? Thanks for any input you may have. I don't post much here but I read a lot. So much disparity in what I read and what real world could be. [/QUOTE]
