[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1664426, member: 71039"] I have a 5r Gen 2 260 and my son has a savage 6.5 CM. The only benefits the 6.5 has over the 260 are quality and quantity of factory ammo and factory rifles with faster twist rates. If you are building your own rifle and roll your own ammo - you can flip a coin. Also - I am from Idaho and grew up hunting elk. A 260 or 6.5 will be plenty for elk - load a 147 eldm and put it behind the shoulder and it will Kill them just as dead as any mag out to 800 yards. Also, I know I am going to get some flack and we are going to get into energy down range etc. make sure you run your numbers with the 260 and 6.5 at elk elevations - 9000-11000 ft. The numbers work... [/QUOTE]
