Or you could go the other way. I love the .260, tho store-bought ammo is both expensive and fairly hard to find at times. Makes a dynamite lightweight, shooter-friendly, mountain/packing rifle.

Everything I've shot with it, including the elk at 150 yards, and several caribou over 300 yards have been bang-flops, using 140 grain Corelokts. My particular rifle doesn't like anything but 140s (any flavor), but others have very good luck with lighter bullets.

The 7-08 is another good one. Dang, I've never had one of those either!

What I was looking for when I stumbled on the .260 barrel.....


The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
