BarryinIN Posted November 26, 2013 Report Posted November 26, 2013 To be introduced at SHOT. The "most powerful 6.5mm ever". They claim 3400 fps with a 129 grain AccuBond. Same velocity at 400 yards as the .260 Rem at the muzzle.This was passed on to me after being seen on Nosler's facebook page.Speculation is it's based on the .375 Ruger case (.30-06 action length).I have been wanting a .260 Rem since it was the wildcat 6.5-308, and still do (1000 yards and under target shooting). Some of the other 6.5s are interesting, but this one is way beyond any use I have.It should get some more 6.5 match bullets coming from Nosler. Quote
steves Posted November 29, 2013 Report Posted November 29, 2013 ARG !!! another caliber we don't need. Quote
2010_FX4 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 I have had a .260 since Remington standardized it and I love it for target shooting and I have hunted with it too. I am big fan of short actions (in fact, I own no long actions) and the .260 seemed like something that I had to have to fill the gap between .243 and .308.This one will be interesting to see how it fares in the sea of calibers that are available these days.
