    look at the info mate and work it out for yourself if your reloading its the better option for sure just look at speeds how much powder used etcetc
    don't get me wong I love the 6.5x55 and owned a fair few from m96's to tikkas but if I was going to buy a new tikka tomorrow it would be 260 ive shot a few lately and read up on them and there's not much in it but I think (in my opinion) 260 has a small advantage over 6.5

    Would have thought a 6.5x55 would be a miles better choice in Scandinavia just because you can get (or you used to be able to) cheap training ammo from the FSR guys

    My ideas where first of all get rid of the plastic fantastic stock and replace it with something like a Stug stock, then maybe a true filte tube chambered in 6.5x55 wouldn't hurt either. Next would be work on the action so I was thinking maybe replace the action with one of those ones from HRE and then it'd be like a New Zealand tikka aye.

    Is that plan solid or what? Any help will be much appreciated

    Cheers

    All 270 fans seem to come 'out of the closet' at some stage.
