Great info guys! I appreciate it, it would most likely be a deer and under gun as I have a 280 AI and 160 ABs for my elk hunting. Just looking for something a little different.
Who uses a 6.5x284 for a hunting rifle? I keep kicking it around. I would mostly use 130 AB bullets as I have a bunch of them. Tell me what you like and or don't like about the caliber?
I have a new take off barrel, never fired, pulled for a custom build. It’s a stainless super lite 6.5 creedmoor. Trade for similar condition 260 Rem or 7mm-08. 24.25” barrel 1-8 twist. $130 tyd If no trades come about.
I didn’t run velocities until I had my load worked, yes kinda backwards but I always have to barrow one. I only ran it when I decided on R26. I’m pushing the 160 AB or BT at 3065 with rem 9.5 mag primers and 60grs of R26.
All 3 powders shot extremely well. You can go wrong with any of them...
Hey all you 260 AI shooters, I think I'm going do one of these in a remage barrel, I don't have a ton of funds toward the project, are the Redding 2 piece set dies good enough? I sure hope so, the others are the nearly the cost of a gun😆
Funny I guess my creed statement was offensive, sorry. My 1/8 twist 260 will do everything the CM will do. It just seems folks worship it like it’s the only rifle ever. Good rifle for its indented purpose. But I like my 260 better, even my 1/9 twist barrels id shoot over a CM. But that me to...
