[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 2663338, member: 10"] For me the recommendation would come down to the game being hunted. Deer size only, 260 would be hard to beat. Elk included, i would go with the 7-08. when comparing these two, its usually best to compare bullets with similar sectional density to get a realistic idea how they will compare. For example a 140 gr 6.5mm is similar to a 160 gr 7mm. That way the velocity comparisions, penetration comparisions will be similar. If you compare a 140 gr 6.5mm to a 140 gr 7mm of course the 6.5 will have a BC advantage but it will also be slower in velocity….. trade offs. for what you list however, no real reason not to go with the 260. Which by the way will top the magically powerful 6.5 creedmore by 70-100 fps with same bullet and barrel length……. Plus the tipped 260 ammo is generally easier to fit into short action mag lengths then the tipped 7mm bullets. [/QUOTE]
