[QUOTE="260shooter, post: 251335, member: 2988"] Michael you are correct. If my main concern was shooting 800 and beyond, I would use something with more boiler room. I consider the 308 a good 700 yard cartridge and the 260 good for 850. Both will punch holes in paper very nicely to 1K. As far as a new sniper cartridge the department of defense has come to it's senses and is looking at a .338 caliber cartridge (probably the .338 Lapua) of some type. I have a 7MM REM MAG sitting at my gunsmiths ready to go except for a few pieces, that will fill the long range bill for me. Hope to launch 168 gr Bergers at 3000 fps or so. I myself am very interested in JEFFVN's 7MM Holy Grail project. I am also impressed with the 7MM ALLEN MAG. They both have a lot to like (except a short barrel life in a military enviroment) . Both cartridges are more suited to a reloader/hunter type situation [/QUOTE]
