Because it is .007" larger than a Bob. whistle

I have 4 260s. 2 M7 SS, 1 M700SS and a Salvage with a 28" sewer pipe from Criterion. The 260 is the perfect cartridge for deer IMO. Light recoil with 140s and 100 grainers haul azz at 3350, or faster if you lean hard on the powder.

Talking to you is like trying to nail jello to the wall.
