[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2029834, member: 69478"] Again this is 100% correct. The 260 was never great to begin with. Remington tried to bring out a hunting cartridge using Core-Lokt ammo. It was never a long range cartridge until people made it into a long range cartridge. It’s a good round, but it was never designed to be used as a long range cartridge with high BC bullets in a short action and be run effectively. This is the same as the 243 vs 6mm Creedmoor. The 243 is a good round but it’s designed with a 9-10 twist barrel for 70-100gr low BC bullets for varminting or deer hunting. The Creedmoors are just designed from the start like a custom chamber with the correct twist rates and freebore for a short action cartridge. [/QUOTE]
