[QUOTE="Swinehunt74, post: 1784126, member: 59444"] First custom chamber was 6.5/08 over 35 yrs ago. Still have that Rem 700 w/over 4K rd count with 2nd barrel (Bartlein) after 3K on Lija first barrel. I have AI AX with factory 260 chamber and Proof CF with 6.5 CM. In long range shooting they are neck in neck with accuracy out to 1500', on that platform. Built full custom 6.5cm last yr. that has repeatedly given me the best accuracy of ANY caliber. All things being equal I still grab one of my 260's first. 6.5cm was a lot easier to find accuracy nodes with than 260. Smith has one of my 260's now to Improve chamber on and go that direction next...Yes Hornady has outsmarted all other manufacturers with Marketing and design. No one has produdced factory ammo that shoots for as cheap and as good as 6.5cm period! God, I hate saying that. I quit reloading for my CM when I could buy 140 gr for .88 loaded rd. Except for the 147 and other heavy bullets. REMINGTON, what happened to R&D? Oh yea, this leticious society got in the way. [/QUOTE]
