Dynatec. You better get to the store before Doe Dumper does if you want a 260.If DD had a santa like RH and ME, he might find one under the Xmas tree. YEAH RIGHT!!.

Like Doe Dumper said. The loads for the 6.5x55 are kept lower because of the old Mauser actions. The 260 has never been chambered in anything but modern actions. ( from the factory anyway) I had a 700 Remington Classic in 6.5x55 and you could load that one to its full potential. Some manuals show modern loads then suggest that loaders of the old Mausers drop a grain or two of powder. I think I am going to put together a 6.5-06 and may go to the Ackly Imp. version. WHY?? I don't know.
