I have been drooling over the .260 and .260 AI cartridges for a long time now, and am pretty well decided on it being my next chamber. My curiosity is what kind of velocities are guys seeing with a 18" or 20" barrel? I want a short gun, basically want to take the weight from the length of the barrel and add it to the diameter but still keep it in a reasonable weight range for carrying around with me on Mt. Hood when I am elk hunting. I have searched, but haven't found anyone with confirmed velocities out of a shorty.

Anyone have some data on a shorty .260?
