[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1076391, member: 10291"] I am a big fan of the 6.5 and use them almost exclusively in recent years for both hunting and competition. After looking at all the various flavors, I have settled in on the 6.5-284 and the 260 Rem, both producing benchrest level accuracy in my rifles. I use 140/142gr bullets at 2750-2800FPS in the 260, and 2950-3050 in the 6,5x284's. Excellent brass is available from Lapua and Norma for both and developing accurate loads is straightforward. I use the 260 for my competition work under 600 yards and the 6.5-284 for all my hunting/shooting which stretches out to 1000+ yards. The 260 would do fine for the hunting/shooting you describe and save costs in components and longer barrel life.IMO. [/QUOTE]
