[QUOTE="chas3stix, post: 588404, member: 34452"] I'm no metallurgist but from what I've read here on the forum, the 6.5X284 is a barrel burner. The fastest load in the Hogdon manual for 140gr. bullet in the 260 is 2730 fps. I'm not saying that you can't get 2800 fps out of the 260 but you'll probably be above the SAMMI specs. If you really have to get to 2800 fps, the 6.5X284 is your best bet. The 6.5-06 with a 140gr. bullet will get you to 2800 fps also. [/QUOTE]
