In the 6.5X57 over 200fps. In my Steyer with 160's I can get to 2860 safely. The 260 is a great round up to 140g after that it does not have the case capacity or COL to take the heavy weights. Probably more Moose have been taken with the 6.5X55 in 156g that any other cartridge. Depends on what your use is. I like to keep options open. To me the 260 limits itself.
Not a 6.5 guru here.... trying to learn more stuff...
With these newer high quality bonded bullets, 140 grains or less, what is the advantage of the 156grain bullet? Or other even heavier ones?
Not pecking at you, honest sincere question, I am not a 6.5 expert...
