Just quick note about ammo. Midway lists 20 offerings for the 6.5 but "only" 17 for the .260.

Some of the 6.5 offerings have higher B.C. values, some of the .260 Rem offerings have higher velocities.

Which drifts further at 300 yards depends on which products are compared.

10 of the 6.5 offerings use a bullet I would normally choose for hunting while 12 of the .260 Rem offerings fit that bill.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
