[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 982339, member: 8833"] I am still trying to understand your question but will give it a try. The 308 is the parent cartridge for the 260. So long story short the 260 is a necked down 6.5 from a 308. The 6.5 x55 has been around since before the '06 and has been used in Europe for everything up to and including moosse. The 6.5x55 is best in a long action as the 260 and 308 generally come from factory rifles with a short action. I have an older 30-06 that has the barrel starting to show it's age and it will get a new 6.5x55 barrel. The 6.5x55 brass is easier to find right now than most brass in these crazy times. [/QUOTE]
