[QUOTE="260shooter, post: 251311, member: 2988"] Porter I owned a 308 for 10 years, and have owned a 260 REM for the last 6 years. My 308 experience was with the 168 SMK at 2700 fps. With my 260 I am running a 123 gr Lapua (BC 547) at 2950 fps. At the magical 1000 yard line the 308 looks like this. 168 @ 2700fps Wind in MOA 10.1 Drop in MOA 34.4 Energy 441 ft lbs The 260 like this. 123 @ 2950 fps Wind in MOA 7 Drop in MOA 27 Energy 543 ft lbs A 3 minute wind difference is significant . If you miss judge a wind call the 260 is more forgiving. Run the numbers. the 260 beats the 308 across the board except in barrel life. I had my 260 barrel set back at 1700 rounds, the beggining of the lands and grooves were just starting to crack, the rifle still shot very well. Have around 2000 rounds on the barrel now and it still shoots .3-.4 most of the time. I am expecting another 1000 rounds till this barrel becomes a tomato stake. 260 [/QUOTE]
