[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 2565173, member: 28741"] I know a hunting guide who told me back when the 260s started appearing, that from what he experienced, the 260 just didn't take the game down as well as a 270Win, 308, etc. I was surprised by that but figured it has something to do with the larger diameter bullet, since a 260 will throw a 130 at close to the velocity of a 270. He guides wild pig, deer, and black bear hunts. I don't know if he changed is mind after that; haven't seen him since the 6.5CM became so popular but I'm sure he's seen more than a few by now. Guys here seem to have a lot of experience that suggests the 6.5 will do okay out to 500. But with Barnes I want the impact velocity to be at 2200+. [/QUOTE]
