[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1061125, member: 82202"] I also think the 7mm08 is your best choice. The 260 is real nice as is the 6.5x55 but the 20" bbl makes a big difference. I have a good friend who has been shooting whitetails with a model 7 youth 7mm08 for years with factory 140gr winchester ct ballistic tips and that firearm stops these 100 pound whitetail in VA really well out to 300. I've literally seen him shoot hundreds with it. I really like the 260 myself and own 3 of them but the 20" bbl gives you muzzle velocity of 2500 max its going to give you the great penetration inherent with .264 but wounding at lower velocities is not emphatic. Good luck and shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
