[QUOTE="true1911, post: 527844, member: 9209"] I'm not implying that a .260 is a barrel burner but barrels will not last anywhere near as long as a .308. In fact if you put them in order of best to worst it would look something like this. .308, 7mm-08, .260, .243. There are a few WSM's built on this platform but they are mostly .243WSM or the SAUM's. There are issues with magazines just for starters. I have a couple of 7WSM's and with 30 inch barrels and high BC bullets they are pretty tough to beat out to 1800 yards. You can make a .308 work out past 1100 yards so I'm assuming that with better bullets you should be able to get a 7mm-08 to work out to 1400 but haven't tried it yet. I also have lots of .308 brass and can neck down to 7mm-08 in one step. For me that makes it more economical to shoot than .260. (when I say "work", I mean stay supersonic, not shoot animals with.)
