[QUOTE="Pmacc60, post: 2161265, member: 64018"] I should have explained that clearer , yes the 260 was Jim Carmichel’s baby but I wasn’t speaking of the wildcat I was saying the cartridge commercial loading and rate of twist was developed for the hunter in mind in a time of faster lighter bullets. I was speaking of the comparison of factory loaded ammunition .The target community found some use and records as well but at the time 7mm was king and the 6.5 / 260 cal did not do well in the states . The 6mm Remington is a different story , Remington entered its new 244 into the market with a 1:12 twist barrels built as a varminter shooting 90 grain and lighter bullets. The 243 win was introduced as a light deer/varmint combo with a 1:10 twist barrel and 100 grain factory ammo. It took off and the 244 was killed by the writers of the time. Remington changed the twist and name but the damage was done! Remington did a nice job at the time and it isn’t because of a 1:8 twist barrel , most shooters out there barely understand the reason for faster and slower twist, this forum is comprised of the exceptionality knowledgeable ! 80% of the guys out there have their rifles dead on at a hundred yards and their good, an anyone tell me they can tell the difference between the 260 and the 6.5 CM?
