[QUOTE="Predator 22, post: 1219768, member: 79364"] If you don't plan on reloading the decision should be easy. The 260 is a great case, but lacking factory loaded ammo. If I didn't reload I wouldn't have the one I have. The saum, as far as I know is only loaded by Copper Creek and it's very spendy. The 6.5-06 and it's wildcats are great cases but only if you reload. So if I were in your shoes I would have two choices, the creedmoor or 6.5-284. The 6.5-284 will have a little more recoil to someone who is sensitive to it. Ammo will be a bit more expensive than the Creedmoor. Barrel life will be shorter than the Creedmoor but should meet your 1000 round barrel life. With the creedmoor you will have cheaper options for ammo and be more readily available. You should be able to shoot a few more rounds before the barrel gets hot. Less recoil and muzzle blast. I would choose the Creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
