All this discussion about a .260 being as good as a .270 makes me think a 6.5-06 really IS better than a .270.

I think I need a new sig line.
Hows this sound?

so, lemme get this straight. The 260 is better than the 270 because it is 200 fps slower and the diameter is .013 smaller and there are less bullets to pick from and factory ammo is not all that common, plus, there are not a lot of rifles chambered in the caliber. hmmmmmmm

Personally I'd choose the 6.5/280 RCBS, and start looking longer. Does OAL of the .260 w/140's in a 2.8" magazine work out ? How far past the shoulder do these long toms protrude, or is it like the situation with the 6.5/284 which seems to work better in the long action.

It is..................... Yawn..... In his later days when the .280 had been released, even JOC acknowledged that the .280 was a superior design

IIRC the 280 came out in 1956.... JOC died in 1976;if he considered it superior, he had plenty of time to use it hunting,but it appears he never did. If you believe his writings, he considered the 270 and 280 the same/same.
