[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2370568, member: 68875"] Less recoil Longer barrel life (possibly double+) Almost buy 2, get 1 free for powder charge. A 6.5WSM is definitely more than 20% more powder burn in a .260AI. 65gr+ vs 45gr+. I have had four 6.5SSs. First barrel was toast at 1200+ rounds. Average charge weight was 61.0gr @ 3120fps 26" barrel. On the flip side, my 1st 6.5SLR barrel was done at 2800 rounds, average charge weight was 43.0gr @ 2930fps 28" barrel. That is a pretty close comparison to your 6.5WSM vs .260AI question. [/QUOTE]
