[QUOTE="7stw, post: 363354, member: 22854"] Hey Loadersloft, I get your drift and that too is food for thought again. I must say that I have even considered a .260 because of the recoil and barrel life issue. It would be a fun gun to shoot that could be shot and cleaned all day without AS much issue with wearing out the barrel. And with the smoking high BC of the BERGER VLD, accuracy should be awesome, and DEFINATELY capable off some LR deer hunting as well. My objective on this build is actually two-fold. One is a rifle to shot and to hotrod with highpower optics to enable long range shooting, of either targets or whitetail. has anybody had experienc with the 6.5 Credmore? Don't krow much about it but it appears to be on paper a .260 in disquise. another good point on the .260 is being able to use good brass as well as the 6.5-06. You can simpley but premium lapua, Norma, or even the Nosler brass in .308 and resize and vwa-la. You are right on the barrel life issue though, and that is consideration. On my big 30's and 7mm's that was not a consideration because of there intended purpose,which is to be shot and broke in, retested and used when hunting and spend time in the cabinet till our time of the year comes around. now it boils to .260, or 6.5-06 [/QUOTE]
