[QUOTE="SPR1, post: 259601, member: 8053"] No hype. I was too brief in my earlier description. It is designed for box magazines at .308 length when loaded with very long bullets like the VLD design or the Scenar while keeping the shank of the bullet out of the juncture between neck and shoulder where "doughnuts" can form. The .260 works but is non-optimum for this specifc application. The .260 does indeed have a little more capacity and works fine, especially in sporter based bolt guns. Zak Smith has had some good write ups on the cartridge and it's competition, the .260 and the 6.5 x 47 Lapua. My interest in it in the 77 is probably more novelty based than anything. It might be a good substitute for my Cooper in 6.5x 284..... if it shoots. [/QUOTE]
