[QUOTE="Jumpalot, post: 610458, member: 4867"] Well if we're talking long action I wouldn't go with any of these. Maybe a 6.5-284, or 6.5-06 or even a 264 WM. If I were going to "improve" one of the original three, it would still be the .260 then stick it in a long action and then shoot 140 gr. Bergers and seat them "way out." It would be close to the 6.5-284. I don't really think that improving any of these rounds is worth the trouble. All are pretty close in performance. All will do well at what you're wanting to do with them. Because of the limited brass available I would stay away from the Creedmore. Between the .260 and the Swede, I think it's a toss up. But if going with a short action, I think the .260 would get the nod. Build whatever you think has the highest "Cool" factor and then go shoot the heck out of it. [/QUOTE]
