[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 895858, member: 48559"] You might also want to consider the 6.5 Creedmoor, especially if the rifle in question is a short action receiver. If you are wanting to run a VLD 140 grainer, the overall length can exceed the magazine box size when you seat close to the lands. Seating deeper ends up using up powder capacity in a 260 case and you lose velocity potential. The Creedmoor was engineered to address this problem. I rebarreled a ruger from 243 to 6.5 creed and have been very satisfied with it. [/QUOTE]
