I actually have a Browning BLR .243 and Rem Model 7 in .260, and he may end up using one of those, but we still want to pick up either another 6.5x55 or .257 Bob. Not really sure why I'd want to put together a hunting rifle in 6.5x55 when I already have a perfect hunting gun in .260, but there's just something about these old cartridges that suck me in.


It reads more like you are putting one together for you. In that case pick whatever one your want.


If you're doing it for your son, I'd go 6.5 Creedmoor. Quality ammo everywhere.
