[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2440362, member: 30902"] When I first got convinced to shoot the .260 it was because I could get it in an AR-10 platform and it had far better ballistics than the .308. A few years later I convinced myself to try it in first one, then another bolt action rifle. For two years I shot nothing else other than the .260's at game and wrote about it here. I was still very much in the minority around here on LRH when it came to shooting anything in 6.5mm. Well during those two years I proved to myself just how capable the 6.5's can be and the 6.5 Revolution has followed. Neither the CM nor .260 are what I'd really consider ideal for critters Elk size or larger nor would I shoot "dangerous game" with them at anything probably over 300-400yds max but, I have some really high velocity 6.5's as well that I wouldn't hesitate to shoot at twice that range on critters to include Moose and Elk under the right conditions and with the right bullet. That being said, if I'm hunting elk or moose specifically I'll take something larger such as the 300 RUM or 375 Ruger but I'm fortunate and have quite a few to pick from on any given day. [/QUOTE]
