[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3095717, member: 33119"] I like the Magnetospeed. Seldom do I get an error when shooting. I don't use the Magnetospeed while running an optimum charge weight developing my reloads. It "may" throw your shots off a little so I don't take any chances with it. I know approximately my speed before I hit the range with my reloads and after I have an accurate load I'll check the speed with the Magnetospeed. I've loaded for and shot a 260 for several years now and believe it to be a wonderful cartridge. I can push 140/143gr bullets a little over 2,900fps with excellent accuracy and no pressure problems. I've found it easy to load for and easy on the shooter to shoot. The 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x47 Lapua, and the 260 are similar. The 6.5x47 generally has a wide accuracy node and the 6.5 Creedmoor has a host of match/hunting loads to be had at the big box stores. You can find match/hunting loads through Prime Ammunition or Copper Creek Cartridge Co. for the 260. Out of the three chamberings you can probably push the 260 faster with the Creed coming in second. If one desires you can use 308 and 243 cases to create 260 but I find that not necessary with 260 Lapua cases. [/QUOTE]
