Hey Guys: It's JWALL, are you sitting down? Had your nitro pill yet?
I'm ACTUALLY considering a 260/6.5 SWEDE. Can you believ dat?
The thread "Recoil Induced Concussion..." brot me to this point and if Dr. Ken will send me a prescription for Concussion Protection, aka light recoiling rifle, I can sell it to my wife.
I've only just begun my investigation. I know the pros/cons of 260 - 6.5 (I've already read everything on the FIRE about them). IF I could find the RIGHT rifle a 260 would be fine. However I've ALREADY found a TIKKA T3 LITE SS in 6.5. (I LUV my 270 in same) Price -$600. If I tell you where I'd have to shoot ya. GRIN
JUST got off Midway site, 6.5 brass is available in ww,lapua,norma,nosler, & (rem.not for me).
REMEMBER the decision has NOT been made yet, BUT I am seriously considering it.
WHAT RIFLE IN 260? Rem m 7 is not for me. The Ruger compact only has 16" bll, also not for me. I'd prefer SS but MUST be light and want 22" bll.
ALSO for consideration, my FIRST handload for 270 was 130 gr.bullet, 49 grs 4064 = 2900fps. Lower m blast, light recoil,plenty accurate. So I could LOAD DOWN my Tikka T3 Lite SS 270 and accomplish same.
HOWEVER I wouldn't get a NEW RIFLE in a NEW CALIBER (don't tell wife!!)
I AM SERIOUS tho about 260/6.5, looking for sugestions.
JWALL - A NEW FRIEND?
