[QUOTE="B23, post: 1076296, member: 13222"] With all due respect and I truly mean that, especially considering how great this conversation has gone, I don't understand why you would "improve" the 260 Rem when it only gains 5-6% or 3-3.3gr H2O, depending on the reamer used. At very best, a 260 Ackley, only, matches the case capacity of the 6.5x55. Maybe we should be comparing the 260AI to a 6.5x55AI. The 6.5x55AI will still have much cheaper Lapua brass but will gain nearly 10% in case capacity once it's fireformed. Everyone has their reasons for why we do things but in my opinion, the gain in performance by improving, ohhh boy am I potentially opening a huge can of worms :rolleyes:, any of the 243, 260, 7-08, 308 cases just isn't worth any other gain there may be. I think if you want more performance than the 260 offers, go with a bigger case. As for one being anymore accurate than the other, forget about it, they're both outstanding in that department!
