[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 962980, member: 10291"] I own both and while there is little practical difference at the mid ranges, the 6.5x284 shows improved terminal ballistics on game out to 1000 yards with solid accuracy past 1300 yards. The 260 falls off in both respects at around 700 yards. I personally have not been able to get much past 2800FPS with the 260. No problem pushing 3025 with the 6.5x284. I use 140 VLD's. For hunting puirposes I have not found barrel life to be any different than a 7mm Mag or the 300's. IMO. [/QUOTE]
