I should mention this. I was not looking at the .260 because I think it woukd be more deadly on bear than a .308. I became interested because I learned more about bullets and realized that the smaller calibers would probably work just as well in my hunting situation with the right bullet with less kick. I also gave fantasies of moving out west one day. Plus, It’s fun to play with different cartridges. My buddy uses a .300 WSM for close range PA whitetails. I guess we all have our preferences.
