Thanks guys. I’ll have to think things over. I am not recoil sensitive anyway but my .308 is a 24” barrel and wouldn’t mind someting shorter. I don’t reload at the momement but have been considering starting. How would a 100 grain 25-06 compare outof a 22 inch barrel?
I think you should leave your decision to the 260 or 308.
In fact, you can cut that 24" barreled 308 down to 20-21". You might be surprised how well it handles and how well it balance in the Remington sporter contour.
I would not become infatuated with speed. If you want to shoot Barnes bullets, do so. However, deer are not that hard to kill, and factory loading will work. I like 150 or 165 Hornady ammo. It works!
