My first’s stalking rifle, what James Clark and Yew Tree ammunition have done to it!

Spoke to James yesterday talking about energy prices and costs going up and the like and in passing he said , If he can get 10 orders with the same chamber it makes a big difference in costs he can order sason button barrels and fit them for £475. Wow , sounds interesting for a group buy. Thinking about it what calibre would be the one people would want to re-barrel to given lead free push, I presume the majority would be moving from 243 chamber. For that price why by a new rifle when you can re barrel , I chose .260 and its a fantastic round but your thought's just out of interest what would you re-barrel to ? 6.5 what ?

My first centre fire was a Styer Manlicher Rem 260 as you say fantastic calibre. If only it had been marketed correctly there would not be a 6.5 Creedmore now.

I have a 1-7.5 twist sassen in 260 rem . People get all het up about the creed yet if you dont want to shoot heavy for calibre high bc bullets the 260 is faster and a very good feeding round 3200 fps 100 grain ttsx in mine and i actually went for a lower pressure load than tested . it also does well with 120 grain jacketed lead

you'd do the same with a creed , and have tons of factory ammo available if you ever needed it
