[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 817177, member: 22069"] These two rounds are ballistically very similar, are generally suited for the same class of game, and will perform similarly while punching paper. The 7-08 is at its best with a bit heavier bullets, recoils just a bit more, and has slightly higher bc's. Both are excellent target rounds, excellent deer/antelope rounds, and have sufficient versatility to work well with lighter varmint class bullets. Both can also be pressed into service for use on heavier game than deer if bullets and shot angles are chosen carefully at a reasonable distance. Though I don't consider either round to be a legit elk class cartridge, if I were to ever consider using them on elk, I would be inclined to go with the 7-08 and its heavier bullets. I am a big 6.5 fan, but I have to admit that similar sized 7's tend to have a slight edge in performance. In general, between the .260 and the 7-08, you can't really make a bad choice. Get either one in the rifle you like and start shootin'! [/QUOTE]
