[QUOTE="406pat, post: 418279, member: 13575"] .260 Rem. Existing rifles will only require a new barrel. Probably wouldn't take much to re-tool manufacturing. Doesn't need a brake or super long barrel to be effective. Components are easily available. Standard diameter case means high mag capacity compared to the magnums. Easily outpaces .308 (10MOA better @ 1000). Outstanding barrel life. More energy than .308 down range. Soldier can carry more ammo than with the magnums. Still a practical cartridge for short range. Could be made to work in the AR-10 platform as well as the M1 platform with relative ease. Big ballistic benefit with minimal cost to change.
