Your Franken-cartridge sounds pretty cool. But if we are going that route...can just go 260 AI and push 140gr pills @ 3000fps all day long. Or say screw em both and grab a 6.5PRC, to light em both up.
Im not taking anything away from 6.5cm. It’s great. But to a reloader, the 260Rem has an edge in velocity while keeping all else equal. The “evidence” of this agrees with me.
Exit: Many are pushing 130gr Berger Hybrids to 3000 easily. So, once again....not saying it’s better.. I’m saying it’s better for max velocity, which means greater distance.
