[QUOTE="dgr416, post: 2085356, member: 1208"] My 22 inch 260 rem is only 200 fps slower than my 264 win mag with the 24 inch barrel using the 155 grain bullet . The 264 win mag is a pain in the butt it splits the necks every time unless you annual them every time .The 260 is super easy to load too not as picky .I thought the 5 extra inches of barrel would put it very close to the 264 win mag loads .I can get 2600 fps with the 155 grain in the 260 with 22 inch barrel and only 2800 fps with the 155 grain in the 264 win mag with the 24 inch barrel .I know the 264 needs a 28 inch barrel to be worth fooling with .I may try some r25 in the 264 but I have not seen anything that beats h870 in it yet .The 260 rem and 264 win mag I gave are super accurate I just like the way less kick of the 260 these days .i just about stopped using my 338 win mag ruger 77 338 win mag that I used 35 years just too much kick to be fun any more .
