[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 210447, member: 8843"] The 260 running the 130gr Accubond out at 2600fps would cleanly kills hogs out to 400yds and that speed would not be hard to get out of the Ar-10 with an 18" barrel. When the time comes to punch paper then load up some 130-140gr Berger VLD's and you'll be good out past 1000yds. Now all that said the regular 308 is no slouch and every AR-10 that I've seen ran great with it. (When AR's first came about the father of the AR Eugene Stoner origionaly desgined them as what we now know as the AR-10 due to the 308 being the standard NATO round it was later scaled down to the AR-15 we know today) And the 308 will cleanly kill pigs out to 400+yds depending on the bullets used. If this gun is to be used as a stalking weapon that I'd suggest going with a 18" barrel , you will get all the speed you need and it will carry alot easier. I do recomend that no matter what you get invest in an adjustable gas tube system , it will help ALOT if you reload and allow out to run the pressures little higher and not beat the upper to death.
