.260 Rem Re-Chamber ?

Need some input on possible re-chamber of my Savage LRH in .260. I'm looking at 6.5x284 or 6.5 PRC. The .260 is very accurate, and I can make brass in a SHTF situation out of any .308 cases available. Also a pleasure to shoot. I'm set up for .6.5x284, but not concerned about a switch to the PRC. I'd just like a little more oomph out beyond 600 yards. Not a hunting arm, just ring and punch. Thoughts?

If it's a long action receiver… you are good to go with 6.5-284. If short action… I wouldn't go that route..

Maybe PRC or SAUM but then you have bolt face change and possible mag issues.

Thanks.

Thought about that. I have a .280 AI and a .25-06 AI, but never had a PRC. I think I'm leaning that way. Thanks.

If PRC…Just confirm mag limitations on COAL (if short action) and case width for feeding with short fat cases.
I don't have a short mag in Savage to help with that compatibility.

Action cutout for ejection is 3.034 +-

Keep it the way it is. I have been shooting a 6.5X308 wildcat ( 260 rem ) since 1994. Now have two Savage 260 Rems. Have taken many elk & deer with this cartridge. I use one of the many homogeneous copper bullets. Barnes, Hammer , Bad Lands Precision, etc. Never a problem. I strongly advise against an AI version. Way more trouble & expense involved for the small gain in velocity. Think, think.think , before you alter your rifle.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
260 Rem all the way!!!!!!!!!!
I won't make another AI. Too much trouble and COST$$$$ for little gain.

I would keep it as is - great cartridge.

Has anyone said 260ai yet?

Has anybody asked what the twist rate is, and what bullets are planned to be shot outta it?
