I have shot deer with the .260, 6.5/06 and .264 win mag. I cannot tell the difference except as to the particular bullet being shot (shooting the Nosler 120 gr. Solid Base in the .264 was not all that great an idea for deer, though it did work just by chance - it was plumb "spiffy" on woodchucks though).
My first 6.5 was the little Arisaka 6.5X50. I think I paid $15 or something like that for it. It was a far better gun than I realized and I got rid of it before I knew enough to keep it. I need to build another one as I have an unfired barreled action, sans bolt, lanquishing in a closet somewhere.
