[QUOTE="Flyhalf, post: 670995, member: 50674"] Go easy on me Guys , this is my first post on LRH . JD . I am in the process of building a .260Rem on a Pierce Rem700 clone receiver at the moment, I decided on the .260 for several reasons , not least of which is the ease of necking .243 brass to 6.5. Creedmoor & Grendel brass is scarse and expensive here and I discounted the 6.5 x .284 for one reason only , notorious barrel burner. I am not concerned by the fact that the 6.5 x .284 has more horsepower than any other 6.5mm round , I strive for accuarcy over velocity.That is not to say the 6.5 x .284 is not accurate , we all know it is. Also consider that a barrel fitted down here can run you out to $700.00 and guys I know, that shoot 6.5 x .284 rarely get much beyond 1200 accurate rounds out of a 6.5 x .284 , it gets a bit expensive. A problem, from a cost perspective you are not likely to encounter in the US perhaps. I cry tears of blood when I see the cost of nice kit you guys have access to !!!!!! FYI , an Orange Box of Berger 6.5/140 grain hunting projectiles is $80.00/100 here. regards Mike. p.s any .260 owners using VihtaVouri Powder ?? [/QUOTE]
