[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1708134, member: 109476"] Have been shooting a 6.5 since 1964, Rem 700. Still shoots great. Took my best bull ever with it in 2014. 1/9 twist & shoots with excellent accuracy any bullet from 100gr to 140. Also have a 6.5x308 1/8 twist built well before the 260 came out. Another 260 by Savage , 1/8, 6.5x06, 1/8 , 6.5x55, 1/8 & other .264 mags , some with 1/8, some with 1/9. Any bullet from 100gr to 140 gr never been a problem. My bullet of choice has been the Barnes 120TSX/TTSX. My 6.5x308 & 260 Rem have taken numerous elk by me & others. Never has disappointed. Super easy to load. 3004fps with Barnes 120grTSX. See no advantage in a 6.5CM unless I want to shoot the same bullet as my 260 a little slower. Short is short which amounts to less powder capacity. The correct name of the 6.5CM should be 260 short.
