[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 509175, member: 24624"] Zak, It was a good article and makes for stimulating thought/debate. I like the 260 although I already have a couple of 6.5x284's and don't need another 6.5 right now. It's also great to challenge institutional thinking. But, the case apparently hasn't yet been compelling enough for institutions to worry with supply and sparing issues. "Easier" is a matter of opinion. When a 14 yo boy can shoot 1k with a 7RM, it's a stretch to say that the 308 is too much recoil. Brakes and suppressors will also narrow that gap. You could also make the claim that the 243 Win can kill anything the 308 can at those distances. It all comes down to shot placement. Conversely, what can the 260 kill that the 308 can't? The 260 Rem is a fine caliber and anyone that wants one should go for it. But, there's no need to be ashamed of your 308. The difference between the 2 will often come down to the person behind the trigger and the amount of practice they put in. JMO -- richard [/QUOTE]
