[QUOTE="longrangedude, post: 1504637, member: 91150"] Here's my $.02 on the topic. I have a .260 Rem and a 6.5-284. I run my .260 at 2840 FPS with 140 Berger Hybrid VLDs in a 24" barrel. I get exactly 100 FPS more out of my 6.5-284 in the same barrel length. Having said that, I pretty much always reach for my good 'ole .260 Rem. Less powder, more carrel life, target and critter don't know the difference. Tons of components including premium brass, etc. You can buy all the latest glam cartridge, but the good 'ole 260 Rem kills it with efficiency and accuracy. [/QUOTE]
