[QUOTE="stomp442, post: 962295, member: 70571"] If I were you I would just Ackley Improve the .260. Virtually identical performance as that of the 6.5-284 in a much more efficient case. Less brass work once the initial fire form is done and the same great barrel life as that of the .260. I have Two .260 Ackley Improved and they are both running right around the 2950 mark with a 140 Berger. One wears a 26" Criterion barrel using 43.5gr of H4350 for a Velocity of 2950 fps and the other wears a 26" McGowan barrel using 42.0gr of H4350 for a velocity of 2920 fps. Both produce Half MOA or better accuracy and during load development seen speeds up and over 3000 fps. The .260 Ackley will do anything the 6.5-284 will and do it much more efficiently. No need to modify the bolt stop or buy expensive brass or even a barrel for that matter. [/QUOTE]
