[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1076241, member: 1521"] I see mostly 260Rem-vs-6.5x55 comparisons out there. But as far as 260 Ackley Improved, it holds a little more capacity and is improved over the stock 6.5x55 design. It uses a standard .308 bolt face. Fireforming adds ~100shots to a barrel, but all cartridge cases need to be fireformed, improved or not. That should be all you ever need, because the AI case improvement and any plan at all leads to endless life in brass. This takes care of the brass cost disparity. I don't consider either suitable for short action as the best in 26cal bullets are very long. But then, short action is relative to brand and make. My 26WSSM IMP/139Laps would not work in a BAT short action. This is the same capacity as the 260AI but shorter. Hell the exposed bullet's half the length. [/QUOTE]
