Is the .260 shot out?

 

If not, get the idea out of your head. The issue with .260 is the restricted OAL when running 140gr bullets. 

Run 123gr bullets and chop the existing barrel. 

The .260 runs more powder than the 6.5 Creedmoor. As such will give good velocity. 

Yeah it's getting that way ,had a scope up it and it's not looking good 

Evening ,i am thinking of having my .260 re-barreld in 6.5 reedmore and would like it as short as possible ,what would people consider the shortest viable lenght .

Thanks Colin

.223 all day if only with factory ammo ,low recoil (so you see your hits) ,cheaper ammo than .22-250 very good barrel life if like to do some target work and also when you want to start to home load it's a easy caliber to load .
