[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 991122, member: 5219"] Makes sense I was teasing you....the high bc 224 cal bullets are great for longer shots. No recoil and the wind drift is far less. I made a 22-250 with a faster twist years ago. At the time a 70 gr Berger vld was a new thing. I was amazed at how I could keep the crosshairs on a jackrabbit way out there when before I had to hold off to get a hit in crosswinds. If you intend to hunt big game work up a high bc bullet for the 260. IMO it will do a better job than a 223 with a 77 gr bullet. [/QUOTE]
