[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1742474, member: 2736"] The 260 is a 308 based cartridge that has a standard bolt face and has a case capacity of about 50 grains. The 6.5 PRC is a magnum and has a magnum bolt face it is almost the same case (.037 shorter in length)as the 300 Ruger Compact Magnum (RCM) it will hold 65+ grains of powder and has a 100 to 150 ft/sec advantage over the 260 AI . There are advantages to both depending what you want and case availability. The 260 can be formed using 243, 708 and 308 cases not counting the 260 rem cases The 6.5 PRC cases are much less in supply and I would recommend buying 2 to 300 new cases before you start the build just to have a good supply. the short Mags also need a center feed magazine to solve any feeding problems. Both should be able to do what you want, so the choice is yours. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
