They effectively kill big elk every year at ranges that are truly unbelievable. 140-150 grain bullets.
In between 7mm-08 & .308

A little hammer goes a long way
Greetings all. I got to try out the 22 cal 52 grain hammer hunter yesterday on a 200 pound razor back and I must say that for that size bullet I am impressed with the damage it did. Impact was just below the right eye and the exit was on the point of the left shoulder, the right side of the...
How is the same bullet going the same velocity actually superior? Asking for a friend.

The 2nd annual Hammer Safari is finally here. 3 yrs after the first annual Hammer Safari. Lol. Next one will happen on time barring travel restrictions. We already have some ideas for the next one
Sorry bud, thinking I misunderstood your question. If so, just forget my last post. Is you question about Hammers vs other projos, or about the 260 Rem vs 6.5 CM? The 260 seated out has a little more case capacity I think. The 6.5 CM serves its own design purposes. Each to their own. I wouldn't sweat it.
loved meeting you 2 on the wsy there and back! allanThere's a lot of reading material on this site.

Wow,
And some Creedmoor fans say the 6.5Creedmoor is superior to the .300wm.
Relevant to what specs you are comparing I guess but I still think it's a bold statement.
I like my 7mm-08 but would probably buy a .260rem before I have a Manbun or start drinking Latte.
Were you speaking of Steve & Brian from Hammer? Good guys.

Sounds like some of the 6.5 CM fan boys are getting hurt feelings when they hear something they don't like. Remember they came out with a 6.5 PRC. That one IS superior to the .260. It's just truth hearing the accurate point that the .260 is a very small step up from the 6.5 CM. I keep hearing the CM easily outperforms the .260. Somebody's not loading the .260 properly if that's the case. I will say the difference is so small that's it's not really one worth arguing over. It is what it is.

Or someone is loading their 6.5 cm to much higher pressures. - dan
yes, gr8 guys!
hey, i didnt say the 260 was a a magnum. it is ballistically a little better than the 6.5. if handloaded, pretty much equal to 6.5 if factory. i dont hate the 6.5, i have 2. just think those who make it somekind of magic killer need a little reality. i also think highly of the 7 08.

Excellent point. I may eventually build a 6.5 creedmoor. Great round for sure but you got to keep it real
