[QUOTE="DMCI, post: 55910, member: 1730"] In the state of Washington the 6-308 (AKA .243 Winchester) is considered minimum acceptable caliber for deer at normal (<300yards) as I understand it. The .260 (AKA 6.5-308) has a slightly larger bullet and similar velocities, and so if used prudently should work fine as well. I think the 7mm Remington Mag and even the .264Win Mag were developed as a factory cartridge for those wanting to push the yardage from 300 to over 400. Seems in retrospect the 6.5 never got any traction mainly because of problems inherent in the caliber's introduction and marketing, again in my opinion. D. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
