[QUOTE="docdempster65, post: 2001837, member: 115875"] The .260 Remington is a tragically under-appreciated cartridge...an orphaned step-child nearly still-born due to Remington's foolish one in nine inch rifling twist ( not the brightest notion to come from Jim Carmichael.) DoD tests not long ago showed .260 Remington and bally-hooed 6.5 Creedmoor to be equally accurate. Factory loads give .260 Remington a velocity edge of 50 fps, hand-loads increase the edge to about 100 fps with the same weight bullets. The .260 Remington's 20 degree shoulder is easier to work with than the Creedmoor's 30 degree shoulder angle. I have a .260 Remington (Ruger platform) and will never trade it in on a 6.5 Creedmoor! Go .260 Remington, hand-load, and you'll never regret it. Doc D [/QUOTE]
