[QUOTE="Rhino55, post: 1665264, member: 40625"] I'm not getting in the hunting discussion here but I will say about my personal experience about the rifles. I have built a 6.5x284. 1-8 twist. 260 Remington 1-8 twist and just finished a 260 Remington IMP with30 degree shoulders. With the 6.5x284 I use 52gr of H 1000 under a 140 Berger VLD. I'm getting 2950 fps. I want to keep my speed down because throat erosion doubles over 3000 fps. On the 260 I'm using H4350 under a 130 Berger hunting VLD and getting 2750 fps. On just built 260 Remington IMP. I'm getting 2890 with H4350 under a 142 gr SMK. All three rifles are getting less than .50 MOA at 100 yds. I'm still fire forming brass with the IMP and playing with bullet seats depth to see if i can tighten the group up from .430 MOA. Yes the 6.5 CM does have a wider commercial line on the shelves but what is the fun of buying commercial ammo when you are looking for accuracy. Oh. The IMP does have a Keriger 1x7.5 twist barrel. I built it to shoot PRS. One last thing. I have a 308 built to M40 specs. It will shoot right along with my 260 all day long using M 118 LR ammo from LC. [/QUOTE]
