[QUOTE="2guns, post: 1318008, member: 94929"] I haven't used the 6.5 but used a Tikka CTR in 260 for about a year. Drawback to me was short barrel. I do use a Remington milspec in 308 that I like but even my old adl 7mag would out distance it. I was referring to keeping a 160 grain eld in the Sendero at around 2900 to 3000 fps. Mostly ran the 140 grain 260 and 175 match king in the 308 around 2750. Accuracy dropped off over that on the short actions. I have ran the milspec with 180 grain nosler bt's at close to 2840 max for a hunting load. Groups better also. Knew I could drive the 7mag faster if need be. No issues with short actions just wanted something bigger. Tried to find same gun in 300 wsm but no luck. Have a lot of friends I shoot with that love the 6.5. Not that I don't like either short action. Just burnt out on it I guess. [/QUOTE]
