[QUOTE="Locknload, post: 322671, member: 20333"] I own two 6.5x06 guns and five 260 guns. Forget the AI version of both as a waste of time. Just compare the 264 to the 6.5x06 and think 68 grains VS 82 grains and 100 to 150 fps increase in velocity. You do not have to have a PHD in rocket science to figure this out. A 5% increase in capacity with the AI is going to do what for you? Go with the 6.5x06 it is has the same capacity as the 6.5x284 and it is a toss up as to which one is most accurate. The 260 will cut both in group size but is a 3,000 fps round with the 140 VS a 3100 fps cartridge in the 6.5x06. Yes, I get 3,100 FPS with a Barnes XCL in my 6.5x06. Just make shure you go with a 1-8 twist barrel. Best, Ed [/QUOTE]
