    I would say unless you are getting 2950 to 3000fps with 140grn you may as well have a .260 as with a 20" you can get 2860fps with the 143 ELDX.
    I've had a 6.5/06 and the AI version and the 6.5 x 284 but I didn't think there was enough of an advantage, unless you have a 24 or 26" barrel for them.
