[QUOTE="jakeway, post: 4559497, member: 280"] I have a 260 and a 6.5 CM, and my son has a 308. I reload for all of them. Get the 6.5 Ammo availability is no longer a problem. The 6.5 is just as effective as the 308 on critters up to and including elk. The 6.5 can be loaded with bullets as light as 85 grain, making it very effective on coyotes and larger varmints. The 308 really can't go much below 150 gr bullets, especially in off-the-shelf ammo. To get the most performance out of ANY cartridge, get into hand loading. Then the question of ammo availability becomes a moot point. Once you have the press, scales, and a few other tools, all you need for a new caliber is a set of dies. You can pay for the dies in saving after only a couple boxes, and after the the cost per round is about half compared to factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
