All we've ever shot out of my sons 260 m77 compact, its bad to the bone.

As far as value, I'd say 1k-1300 depending on condition and how bad someone wanted it.

This worked very well for my friend's Low Wall.

The 120 Sierra Prohunter in front of a stiff load of RL17 is a great whitetail combo. Quite a sturdy bullet and usually quite accurate.

If it wore a better twist rate and more COAL,it'd be sound. Hint.

Bummer,that it won't even begin to keep pace with a 243 Kreed'. Hint..............

Using your Imagination and Pretending,is the ONLY "move" available to you,with said Goat Fhuqk. May as well start practicing now. Hint............

I like the fact I can shoot a 100 grain bullet 3200 plus or a 130 at 2800 plus. Not alot can go wrong there. May try like a 140 accubond or berger classic hunter in it. Covers about all I'll ever shoot at.

As amazing as the 6.5 CM is, if you are a competent reloader who selects bullets that will work within the limits of the magazine's COAL and barrel's ROT, there is absolutely zero/nada/no difference in performance between it and the 260.

I've shot a pile of whitetails with the 260 since 1997 using a variety of 90, 100, 120, 125, 129, 130, and 140 grain bullets. I've settled on the 129 grain SST for practice and 130 grain AB for hunting game in the 260s that I shoot, as they tend to shoot to within a RCH of the same POA. The 90 grain VMax has yet to bounce off of any of varmints that I've shot with it, but it isn't a particularly slick bullet, so there are better projectile choices for longer range shots.

I do think a 156 elite hunter in a 260 would hit hard, but that won't be an option in this rifle.

Nice buck!, and I agree this is a very good deer bullet no doubt. My daughter has never shot anything but the Sierra 120gr Pro Hunter in her Rem 700 .260 and she has taken a truck load of deer with that bullet. She first started out with a Model 7 260 and used the same bullet with equal results. Her rifle likes it with H4350 and it's very accurate and consistent and as already mentioned, it's performance on game has been excellent.

The 156 is well shy of a 147's BC. Hint.

Only in CLUELESS Drooling Brokedick Land is a Retard Twisted 260 "equal" to a 264 Kreed'. Hint.

Keep guessing aloud ladies,as it is funnier than fhuqk! Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!................

Agree with the BC of the 147. But I didn't mention BC. I mentioned the bullet hitting hard and being a good combo. Killed alot of stuff with a 156. Several different kinds of animals. But the creed stuff? 243 kreed this and 264 creed that. Lmao, talk about a goat f---. You wearing skinny jeans when you pull the trigger? I load a 147 in a 6.5x284, but it won't hold pace with a kreedmire.....blahahahaah.

But the kreedmire burns small amounts of powder and has good b.c.......
Like I said earlier, I don't own one. My wife and daughter don't hunt.

Ain't it a right proper Dichotomy,that the things you don't cite,matter the most and that which you do is The Fluff. Hint.

Weren't my intent to horn you up and have you elicit your Homoerotic Fantasies,but I reckon there's no stopping you. Hint.

NOBODY "shoots" 147's in a 6.5-284/6.5-06 and swoons a Retard Twist Rate 260 and Nerf Balls. HINT.

260 case capacity,IS Kreed' case capacity. The Kreed' simply houses same,in a vastly superior case design,to allow BETTER bullets and has the default RPM to arrange same. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.............

Nerf Balls? Lmao. Not quite horned up lol. Got thicker skin than you reckon. I understand case design and capacity. I'm simply saying that if this 260 had a better pipe on it throated for the long bombers it would be a better tool. If one was to seat a pill out on this case and drive it with the right powder, good things could happen. But with a 9 twist I'll just play with the 120s and 130s.

You CLUELESS Drooling Fhuqktards are KNOWN for your VERY Thin Bark and there's NO fhuqking need to cite it,though it is funnier than fhuqk! Before you Googled Kreed' Capacity,you were espousing your Homoerotic Fantasies. Don't "forget". HINT.

Now were you take a 264 Kreed' and yank a couple plug wires loose,you'd reap said 260 Goat Fhuqk. Fascinating that Throat Geometry stumps you too,but Imagination and Pretend will only get a gal so far! Hint.
