I learned not to cope - if your equipment (rifle, cartridge, bullet, optics / sights) is not perfect for the instance, you do not have a shot.
There is no difference between a .260 Rem. and a .30-06.
There is, however, a difference between a .7mm-08 and a .308
If you like C&C you have to hate premiums with a passion, especially monometals.
If you prefer monometals, you wonder how anything ever got killed before their time and are vocal about it.
Only the other type of bullets fail - even if recovered from a dead animal.
