    .260?

    Long story short on the Roberts - My Dad had it custom made for him in 1950. Short barrel, beautiful walnut stock on a Mauser action. He gave it to me when I turned 13 and I’ve killed all of my game over the years with it except elk, although I did take one elk with it just cause I thot it...

    Thanks for the thots. the 6.5x55 has always interested me from times way back watching a friend silhouette shooting.

    .260?

    I am thinking of going new - found a great gunsmith who could do the whole number for me. I am a fan of Mauser actions ( my Roberts sports one).

    .260?

    What are the hassles you mention with the AI? I really love my Roberts, just thinking of expanding my pallet!😀. I’m content with 120 gr or less

    .260?

    More case capacity = more flexibility to me. I like to load so this could be a good match.

    .260?

    How about other loads with the 260AI? Have you experimented with other bullets and powders?

    .260?

    That’s a hell of a good step up! Same amount of powder or less?

    .260?

    I do handload. In looking about the .260 seemed to have quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to loads. Seems like you can make it reach out, keep a reasonable amount of killing power and still shoot pretty flat. So you like the AI ?

    .260?

    Thinking about retiring my old .257 Roberts - .260 seems like a nice flat shooting caliber. Any thots or suggestions?
