[QUOTE="98dyna, post: 1665676, member: 89121"] I use 7mm-08 brass to make my .260(if I need to) and .260 AI brass. My father bought a Remington 722 .270 in 1947 and killed at least 100 elk with it shooting 130 grain factory loads out of a 24" barrel at about 3000 fps. My .260 AI is shooting 140's at 2925 out of a 26" barrel. Not much difference, not enough that the animal will notice. I have also discovered that certain brands of 6.5 Creed brass won't take the higher pressures of 2800-2900 fps loads for very long, they pop the case heads off. [/QUOTE]
