308 has a long track record of success for 1000 yard matches, but the 6.5 has hurt it in this regard.
I’d say 260 never got the love it deserved in the first place, but 6.5 CM seems like a magic wand these days.
I’ve never used a 243 for whitetail, but I made my minimum a 260 (my taste).
I currently have 2) 260’s and just last night decided to test the 6.5 CM out.
If I had to toss out more calibers than the 308, I’d have to say 270 and 30-06.
