[QUOTE="Kerryt38, post: 1777508, member: 79662"] I’m constantly amazed at how many people claim that the 260 is superior if you hand load but never say what bullets and what velocities they get. I’m happy to see a couple people posted their 260 velocities but they aren’t anything spectacular. I have sold a 260 and still have a couple 260 barrels laying around somewhere that aren’t shot out but were replaced by 6.5 creedmoors. I have 2 6.5 creeds running 140s at 2930 FPS in 26” barrels and 1 at 2900 for 140s. I know a few people that run 140s and 142s at 3,000 FPS in a 26” barrel from their creedmoors. I was running 147s at 2900 in one and 2835 in another. I could never get close to those velocities in my 260s with heavies and still stay under mag length. If you are single feeding or using a long action for your 260 then why not get a magnum for the extra velocity. Maybe I just wasn’t using the right components. How about all you 260 experts let me know what you are doing to blow the creedmoor away. List your powder, bullet and velocity please. [/QUOTE]
