[QUOTE="Porter, post: 251475, member: 13231"] Thanks for all the great info everyone. lightbulb So from what I have seen the 260 may provide a competitive edge @ 1K but not necessarily enough to say that it will beat the 308 hands down. Are there any rounds out there that still have the same recoil (or close to it) as the 308 but have superior ballistics? As far as the 260 goes, since it retains its energy better out past 700y, should it be considered a better "Elk" round out past that range than the 308? Now here is question I had about ammo, but first here is the quote that led me to this que[COLOR=Black]stion...[/COLOR][COLOR=Black]"You don't need a gun that can shoot .1" groups at 100 yards to be competitive at 1000 yards. Long VLD bullets often do not shine until 300yds since they may not fully stabilize inside 100 yards." What are long VDL bullets and what are some examples of them? Why do they not fully stabilize till 300y?[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
