[QUOTE="B23, post: 1014318, member: 13222"] Another option in 6.5 that also has Lapua brass is the 6.5x55. It's got a bit more case capacity than the 260 and if you Ackley improve the 6.5x55 it increases the capacity about 10% which is a pretty healthy gain. I've thought about doing a 6.5x55 Ack. Imp. for my daughter and in 24in barrels with a 140 it should run really close to the 6.5x284 and that is running equal pressures but with less powder. As the barrel length increases the advantage definitely goes to the bigger case of the 6.5-284 though. [/QUOTE]
