[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2544710, member: 10284"] It depends on 2 things.......how fast you can get it to go and final yardage you are shooting at. I built a 243Win, 600 yard bench gun to shoot 95 VLD's. My velocity is so much faster then the guys shooting higher B.C. 105/108's out of 6BR's, that the 95's have less drift and drop then the heavier bullets at 600 yards. But, there is a price to pay....you burn much more powder, and because of that, barrel life is considerably shortened. I'd have to run some numbers for the 243 against the 260, but the results would be the same for barrel life. A given bore size will only burn so many grains of powder before it's shot out. The smaller bore will be toast before the larger bore if every thing else is equal. It all depends on how you want to play the game. [/QUOTE]
