[QUOTE="north of 53, post: 589197, member: 8510"] Not sure on the case but 6.5 mm bullets shoot very well at long range. I push them with a 6.5 x55 improve and have taken many deer at over 500 yards and coyotes past 600. If you look on paper a good 6.5 MM projectile starting of at 3000 fps can carry over a 1000 ft/lb out to around 700 yards or better and that is the rule of thumb for deer. Having said that you still have to put the bullet in the right spot at any range and shot placement trumps FT/LBs of energy any time. The 260 should preform very similar to my 6.5x 55 improved so if the gun is a shooter it should be hard to bet for a long range hunting gun. [/QUOTE]
