My own philosophy is that I see no reason for pushing a cartridge near its boundaries. After all, there are so many pawn shop '06s floating around that I have no reason to ask the .260 to try to be one.
That being said, as a deer and antelope gun, the .260 Rem has few rivals. I also know that it is plenty ample as a cow elk cartridge. Beyond that, I am grabbing a bigger gun because I can.
