[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2430318, member: 30902"] I'm going the other way. I spent 2 years shooting nothing but the .260 Remington to compare it to my STW's, Winnies, and Rums. Everything I killed was just as dead. As for percentages, not 1% of shooters can make a cold bore shot beyond 600yds from a bench under ideal conditions 10 out of ten times. Long Range hunters are an exceptionally small group among center fire rifle hunters and shooters and sometimes we need to remind ourselves of that when we don't think the market is adapting fast enough to suit us. Now given a choice, if I'm planning to shoot past 400yds on medium size or larger game the .260's stay home and the 6.5LRM, STW's, Winnies, or Rum's come out to play. Same if I'm hunting in really windy conditions. If I'm bored, I'll take the .375 Ruger and limit myself to 400yds and closer. [/QUOTE]
