The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 260 Remington, introduced in 1997, is based on the 308 Winchester case necked down to take a 6.5mm or .264-inch bullet. Gunwriter Jim Carmichel was involved in its development and heralded it as "the most accurate cartridge based on the 308 Winchester case." It is very accurate and mild-recoiling; like other mild 6.5mm cartridges such as the 6.5-284 Norma and 6.5mm Creedmoor it has found some favor in long-range competition circles. However, it has not yet become extremely popular. At least in part this could be because it is very similar in performance to the much more popular 7mm-08 Remington--but it is definitely benefiting from the current popularity surge of 6.5mm cartridges. Standard loads include a 120-grain bullet at 2890 feet per second and a 140-grain bullet at 2750 fps, making it obviously suitable and effective for any deer-sized game. Because of its limited popularity both rifles and ammunition have remained primarily Remington products. —
