[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 564231, member: 30902"] Considering the swede has been killing elk and moose sized game along with European Wild Boar since it was first invented I wouldn't put a hell of a lot of stock in the articles that declare these two as lacking killing power. I probably won't be shooting any big hogs at very long ranges with the .260 but out to 600yds I won't hesitate. Shot placement and bullet selection I think are far more important factors than massive amounts of energy. You need enough energy for the shot to pass through the body. As long as you have that, with the proper bullet and placement of same you have a dead animal. [/QUOTE]
