[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 2084613, member: 74902"] I'm thinking you might get ~100 FPS with the extra inches on the barrel. Not so sure it will catch up with your 264 WM. Have you ever tried Alliants RL26 powder in the 260? Folks get 100 FPS plus with the same barrel length in 260 and 6.5 CM. RL26 would help you keep the rifle weight down and the shorter barrel will be somewhat stiffer. Maybe a 24" barrel and RL26 would be a sweet spot. [/QUOTE]
