[QUOTE="Matt27, post: 116074, member: 781"] JD I have a straight 260 with 30" barrel. One note of caution of using 308 brass.You might have to neck turn your brass when necking down. Lapua necks are thicker. I use to neck down 308 and got tired of the hassle and since switched over to Rem 260 brass. I have not noticed any differance in performance with the rem brass. Another option would be to neck down 7-08 brass. The 6.5-284 usually has 100-150 fps on the 260. With a longer barrel and the right powder in the 260 you get 100% case fill and get 6.5-284 speeds. I was pushing the 139's comfortable at 2950fps.Which is right where the 6.5-284 runs them. I switched over to Bob's Cauterucio's 120gr bullet and am pushing them 3160fps. Another powder showed promise with the 120's that went as fast but with less pressure. I should be able to get another 100fps. [/QUOTE]
