HI
looking at a .260 Rem.
Still have all the reloading componants for my 6.5x55 (Win 70 L/A) and have the rifle waiting for a new barrel to have the $$ found for it.
The deal on the .260 looks really good and am wondering what the practical differences are between the two rounds. Application is a windy day vermin gun to 500yrds (mainly used to let the 22/243 cool down) and Deer and Hogs with 140's IF I decide not to use the 308.
Brass will be hirtiberger in 6.5x55 and necked up .243 Lapua in the .260 if that helps.
This question must have been raised here b4 or on other boards. On the other boards you all frequent and you to please find and post links to like discussions to save rehashing here.
Rehash all you want If you have opinion.
application is Vermin control: be it small or oinking if I see it I want to be able to put it down.
120+ grain proj's.
If I could get 2900+ fps with 120-129 grian projs and MOA accuracy I would be happy with that for the application.
thanks
later
