[QUOTE="britz, post: 228767, member: 7865"] I think your on the right path, but If it were me, I'd seat a dummy round with the intened bullet of choice and make it fit the magazine and make sure that I would be able to jam the rifleing and still use the magazine. It all depends on what you are going to do with the rifle for the caliber. I feel the 260 has a slight edge in efficiency over the 6.5-06. I have always wanted to build a 260 out of my old 30-06 and have it set up to shoot 140's and touch rifling - having the bullet seated way out so I could use the whole case capacity. But you will loose a little speed to the 06. [/QUOTE]
