I have a mountain rifle build in the planning stages for next year, and I am pretty sure now it will be a short action chambered in. If I want to punch 160- or 175-grain bullets, I reach for my 7×57 Mauser. Above 140 grains, the larger 55mm case has a marked advantage, but I never load rounds above this in the 6.5mm Swedish. Until recently my personal preference would have been to opt for none of the above, and instead chamber a hunting rifle in 6.5×55 Ack Imp. They can, however, be loaded to greater pressures, and handloads soon bring them back in line. Sure, the 6.5×47 factory loads are down about 150fps on the others owing to the smaller case capacity. The bottom line is that in practical hunting terms, there isn’t a hair between them. 260 Rem does not have it all its own way, however, as the introduction of the 6.5×47 Lapua and Hornady’s 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge have provided the inquisitive shooter with something of a dilemma. In the hunting world the uptake has been a bit slower, although it is enjoying increased use across Europe. 260 Rem, including Remington and Federal.

In March this year, Hannam’s Reloading started importing the first batches. Since then, life has been made considerably easier with Lapua recognising the need for dedicated, high-quality. The extra prep time was worth it for the results, but this didn’t help non-loaders, with off-the-shelf ammo hard to come by. Home-loaders soon found a satisfactory solution by necking up Lapua. Launched by Remington in 2007, the calibre was held back initially by the availability of quality brass. 260 Rem is a commercialised answer to the 6.5-08 Wildcat cartridge. 260 Rem is a worthy addition to the already crowded queue of calibres hoping to be the ultimate answer to the 6.5mm bullet.Įssentially the. I will not repeat these, but will instead evaluate if the. Indeed, the virtues of its favourable ballistic properties have been described here before.
It is one of the most versatile, accurate and manageable bullet diameters ever to have been chambered. It comes as no surprise that so many manufacturers have tried to harness the awesome ballistics of the 6.5mm in their own concoction of brass housing.
