    over the years I've had most 6.5 Cal and now I'm back at the sako.260.
    The 6.5-06 and the AI version need a 24" barrel to get the most out of them, then I did a 20" 6.5-284 and struggled to get much over 2800fps with 130grn.
    Then a Tikka .260 in both 18" and 20" both doing over 2800 fps with 143 grn.
    And now I've only gone to a Sako carbon light .260 because it came up. It shoots no better than the Tikka but is nicer to use.
    So I would stick with a .260 or a Creedmoor.
