[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 612578, member: 10291"] I'm not familiar with the 6.5x68 but do a lot of shooting with both the 260Rem and the 6.5x284. At 3000 FPS with a 140 gr. bullet, it sounds like the cartridge is similar in capacity to a 6.5x284 and 6.5x06. Depending on what you define as long range, the 140gr is clearly the bullet of choice if you go out to 1000 yards or so. Even with the 10% increase in velocity of the 120 gr bullet, you will lose ballistic performance at long range. I have found that the 140's give excellent terminal performance on game at both short and long range. Can you give some info about the 6.5x68? [/QUOTE]
