[QUOTE="ntg, post: 895848, member: 32568"] First this basic discussion was had; for your review: [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/260-vs-7mm-08-a-115877/"]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/260-vs-7mm-08-a-115877/[/URL] Using a-max as the comparable the 7mm-08 edges out the 260 somewhere near 400 yards. That's when it starts to noticably buck the wind better. You want precision...well for me the wind is the greater challenge. I can know the drop of the 7mm, even if it's a little faster, but knowing what the wind is really doing to my bullet at say 600+ yards is hard to know. A 7-08 bucks the wind better. It gives me a better margin of error when it comes to dopping the wind. There's really not that much difference between the two, however I'd give the slight nod to the 7-08. It's also easier to reload for as you can get 308 brass cheap and rarely have resizing issues. Now if I was going to wish for a little more horse power I'd go 280AI or 284 win. [/QUOTE]
