[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1918610, member: 19988"] The 7-08 would be perfect. I have a 260 Remington and my pop asked me if I had it to do all over again what would I build. I told him a 7-08. the best grain bullet for the 260 is the 140 grains. So if you look at the 140 grain bullets in the 7mm category the B.C.s are pretty close but favor the 6.5. But the 7mm has a higher S.D. It is a lot more easy to find 7-08 ammo as well. It’s getting harder and harder for my dad to reload. I load for him when I can but it’s not all ways easy. He wants 140 grain, 150-154 grain 162 grain, 168 grain bullets. That is a lot of data for one gun. I told him just load the 140 and be done. If you want a heavier bullet just load some 162 grain to 168 grains in his 280. Good luck on your build. [/QUOTE]
