[QUOTE="JamesBailey, post: 579561, member: 36230"] Good comments AZShooter. I can attest to this statement. 6.5L is SUPER easy to load. Nothing I tested was much more beyond 0.50moa at 100 in development. Even a loading dumbie like myself can easily develop 0.25moa loads without much effort. As far as the one brass source on both the 6.5L and the 6.5C, it was an easy choice for me - Lapua. I have done ZERO brass prep, outside of resizing. From the pieces that I did measure and weigh, the brass was nearly all copies of each other. In the field, the two cartridges shoot right on top of each other. The 260R does have a clear velocity advantage, but its a bit trickier to load mag length. 260R now has Lapua brass option, so if you want a bit more speed than the 6.5L, look at that option. Any of the three medium 6.5mm choices + the 130gr bullet is very tough to beat out to 1000... :D [/QUOTE]
