Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 260 Rem vs 308

I love the .260 and have shot that exclusively over my .308 for deer for years. As far as I know the BLR isn't currently chambered in .260. But if you have one in your future, I'd consider the 7mm-08. That would get you pretty close to .260 performance with less recoil than .308. In a light pack gun for deer, I'd personally even be comfortable carrying a .243. Any cartridge in the .308 family is a great whitetail cartridge IMHO.
