I have a Savage Predator Hunter in 260 to go with my LRP 6.5CM. IT IS 24" instead of the CM 26". I have been having a hard time being successful with reloading for it compared to the CM. I am about 2750 on my CM reloads and I just cant seem to get accuracy out of the 260 at higher velocities. I am gonna try the 120gr range on the 260 and see what happens. I did notice that Savage designs the CM around 140's and the 260 around 120's. It says so in the last page of the manual anyway. I use the 6.5 for target and it is awesome. I use the 260 for hunting as it is alot lighter. My CM with a Vortex PST 6-24x50 weighs right at 16 pounds with the bipod, but I still use it for box stand hunting open areas.
If I didnt reload I would have to sell the 260!
Factory match rounds are alot higher than the Hornady 6.5CM, and they shoot great!
You will enjoy the LRP. It sent a few of my friends with remmy 700's home to figure out how to outshoot it. They have alot more money in theirs also!
