[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 508907, member: 19988"] Bart B good morning. 2450fps sound about right. From a 26" - 27" barrel. Nothing wrong with that. I do believe the 308 will outperform the 260 at close range. It takes 2000fps for a 210grn vld to mushroom. It does that at 400yrds with 1800ft-lbs of energy. The 260 130grn vld only has 1600ft-lbs but at 2400fps. The 260 only needs 1600fps for the bullet to mushroom. It still has that at 1000yrds along with 700ft-lbs of energy. A gentelman on here wanted to know what gun to buy out of a 308 or a 260 for deer at long range. I think he said 800yrds or so. He wanted to shoot coyotes with it too I think. The 260 can go to the 140grn vld's if he wants I just like the 130grn. It only take 600ft-lbs to be considered a deer rifle. From what ive read anyway. Well have a good day.:) Gone shootin. [/QUOTE]
