[QUOTE="landcbeitner, post: 185126, member: 10214"] There's no doubt the 260 is a better long range caliber than the 308. At longer distances the 260 (obviously depending on load) will often create more energy than the 308 even when the bullets are over 35gr lighter. If you have a 308 and want a little more out of it ballistically try the 155gr Lapua Scenar (.508 BC). With a 25" Shilen barrel I've acheived 2850fps without pressure signs. I would do extensive testing before trying to use one of these bullets for hunting. I've also had sucess with the Berger 185gr VLD with a BC of .556 it offers great wind bucking (for a 308) and good ballistics (I've been shooting these at over 2600fps). The latter would make a pretty good long range hunting load. [/QUOTE]
