[QUOTE="bobdds15, post: 644061, member: 10736"] I too shoot both cartridges,I have chambered a couple of barrels in the 260 Improved version. I definitly get significant gains in velocity that way, especially now with the fine lapua brass available. I do however load the 6.5 in my f class rifle. I have 1800 rnds through one of my 6.5 barrels and still top accuracy, while with the 260 Imp I seem to begin to lose accuracy at about 1000. I realize I could load milder loads and do that some times. These things really matter at longer ranges. I have chambered barrels in both calibers as a hunting "carry" rifle and of course I cant tell the difference in recoil, performance or cool factor. I can get about 3000 fps out of the 260 Imp with a 140 g berger and about 75fps less out of my f class 6.5. 260 is a 28" bbl and the 6.5 is a 30". The 260 is still a sexy cartridge and the 6.5 cm is really generating a following. [/QUOTE]
