Both solid shooters, for me, I'd pick a 6.5 for drop/wind, etc. and feel it will match or better a 308 downrange.
Not much one would do that the other could not given these examples - good rifle/load-bullet, and shooter. The difference is small at 200 IMHO.
Nothing wrong w/the 308/155 but I like the 260/130 for less recoil and good trajectory/wind.
Mathman, agreed. It would take alot more data to draw any 'general conclusions' if we are talking 308 vs. 260.
What I can say is that over at snipershide dot com, an awful lot of 308 shooters have switched to 260 for a reason. That said, it has not and will not uproot the 308 for everyone or all applications.
The 308 is VERY rooted b/c it has such a history and there are so many scopes set up just for it.
Again, both will do a great job given the rifleman knows his rifle.
Good shooting Pat.
