[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1632079, member: 93138"] It's funny, almost 30 years ago when I worked in a gun shop one of my bosses, who was in the firearms industry his whole working life, told me more than once "That .260 Rem is badly over-looked, which is too bad as it is an excellent cartridge." That store, now gone, had a policy of keeping at least one box of ammo for most rare calibers in stock. How many places could you find both .348 Win and 6.5 Carcano ammo, as well as the entire Weatherby line of ammo sitting on the shelf of a little LGS? In those days .25 cal sales were rare, 6.5 sales were non-existent. Everyone in that part of the world jumped from 6mm chambers to 7mm chambers without even looking at what they 'flew over.' At the time I recall looking at the .260 ammo and thinking "what's the big deal?" and then a short while later realizing what I was being told. This was when the hoopla over the 6 PPC was hitting a stride not too different from what the hoopla over the 6.5 Creedmoor is doing now. There were lovers and haters then too. [/QUOTE]
