[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1192485, member: 30902"] If you're actually getting 3000+FPS out of a 24" barrel you are right at maximum or very near it. The others mentioned will Match it's performance in the 18-20" barreled carbines it was produced in. [url=http://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/.260+Remington.html?__utma=1.29059295.1460694395.1460694395.1460694395.1&__utmb=1.2.10.1460694395&__utmc=1&__utmx=-&__utmz=1.1460694395.1.1.utmcsr=ballisticstudies.com|utmccn=(referral)|utmcmd=referral|utmcct=/Knowledgebase/.264%20Winchester%20Magnum.html&__utmv=-&__utmk=264423055].260 Remington[/url] Don't feel like I'm knocking your favorite because I'm not, it's just that with the zero availability of factory ammo and difficulty of even finding brass for it at all the limitations make it a caliber I won't own. Those are very major limitations not to mention the need for custom dies and all that comes at quite a cost so when people are looking at considering building one they need to be informed. By the way, the 6.5 RM was also the first factory produced short magnum. [/QUOTE]
