Thread: Supressed Ruger 260 Rem on FB

Such a shame it's not in a skeleton stock or I'd take this...

Pretty sure @Pengy is close to buying this, think I am going to go look at it if he so wishes

@Pengy even, he really has come to the dark side, he's making me proud

Can someone fill me in on the ballistics here? 260 rem. Smaller than 6.5 but more punch from powder? What sort of shooting would we be looking at?

I hit a 600m gong on the weekend in difficult wind fairly consistently

If I'm not mistaken it is a 6.5 just has the name of .260 Rem sits somewhere between 6.5 Creedmore & 6.5x.284

it's 308 case necked to 6.5 it's performance is nearly identical to the swede.

does a 6.5mm projectile fit through a DPT 6mm suppressor?

I don't think so they list 6mm as its own and 25 cal to 6.5 together

You are correct, therefore, has the current owner actually fired this as it is?

I see what you mean didn’t see it in the photo till now.
I guess he has wonder how long it will last.

It does after the first round.

Seller say he has put 25 rounds through it with can on.
