[QUOTE="Terry Scott, post: 528674, member: 26579"] Hi, I meant the 260 Ackley Improved, it is much more efficient than the 6.5-06 so will give you a longer barrel life, with 6.5/284 ballistics. The bullet of choice being the 140 Berger VLD If yo are looking at .284s just go to a 7mm mag, if you do some checking you will see that you need to go to a little heavier bullet to get the ballistics optimal. For reference you can go to the Berger Bullet website, see how high the ballistic coefficient is for the 6.5 140gr? Then look at the 7 mm 168gr BC Both are extremely high,consequently I have built my rifles around these bullets to reach out to the longer ranges. Whatever you do enjoy. [/QUOTE]
