[QUOTE="long450, post: 430503, member: 8426"] The 260 is a good choice, so long as you handload ammo. Not much available in a factory loading. Barrel life is likely 200-300 more rounds through the 260 over the 243. The 243 should be about 200 over hte 22-250. The 22-250 will have the best selection for factory loaded ammo, but the 243 is a close second. Pelt damage can be severe from any of them with the wrong bullet. Most people that talk about low round count barrel life are people shooting 600 yards and beyond in competitions that require max+ loads to be competitive. They also notice very small increments of lost acvcuracy. The 6BR is a very good round with excellent barrel life and accuracy! It is almost exclusively a hand load option. [/QUOTE]
