[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1188029, member: 63138"] I have a 260 Rem but just finished building a 6.5WSM. I deemed the 260 as a bit too slow. (I had a 26 Nosler but that is a little too extreme so I rechambered it to the 6.5WSM.) The I am getting near 26 Nosler performance (3,200 fps with 143gr ELD-X) with much less powder. Also you can buy off the shelf dies from LEE for this chambering so though it is a "wildcat" it is a little short on the wild part. Run 270 WSM brass through the FL die and you are ready. I think the WSM case is better than the 264 WM as it is tough, no belt and can be run in a short action. Plus a lot of 1,000 yard accuracy records have been set with chamberings based on this case. Good luck whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
