[QUOTE="mark fox, post: 1076998, member: 59903"] reason for the ai in the 260 is wider straighter powder colums burn powder more consistant. sharper shoulder less growth. reason for the small primer higher preasure rated. standard 6.5x55 case was designed for way less preasure than the 260 case the small primer bumps it to about 68,000 cup. thus allowing a wider range of powders and thus performance range as far as the small primer being more accurate look at the research that has be done. Do the search. Dont get me wrong the 6.5x55 is a great cartrage. have had them before. i also have 257 robersts ai. but for the same reasons as the 6.5x55 is not at cartrage that i would choose for a performance cartrage. and the reason for having the 6.5 in my openion is to take advantage of the b.c. a safer higher velocity is also part of the reason. The 260 just like the 6.5-55 is very easy to make very accurate. much less tinkering work than the 6.5-284 or the 6.5-06 [/QUOTE]
