[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 83116, member: 4785"] HI a 260AI would only give you a verry small advantage over a standard 260in a short barrel on a 600 the big problem you may face will be making the 40 degree shoulder case feed reliably. if you look around you should be able to get a slightly longer mag box i think Brownells has them to fit a 6.5-284 through the action. it all depends on how long a barrel you will be running the standard 260Rem is just a tiny bit smaller in volume than the 6.5x55 but it runs at a higher pressure so they are verry similar in ballistics. i believe if you are looking at a 22 to 24" barrel look at the standard 260 and if you want a bit more grunt try having the bolt opened to magnum and neck a 7mm SAUM down to 6.4 for a 6.5 RSAUM they work verry well and will feed through a standard model seven Short Mag magazine box and follower and a little relieving of the feed lips it is a great modification to have a faster 6.5 in a true short action.
