25 grs. more bullet and a little less wind drift when using a 130 gr. berger.

I use both but for different uses. My .243 is a light easy carrying gun that is also my wifes primary antelope rifle,. My .260 is a 30" barreled 15 lb. antelope at rest rifle. Plus I like clanking steel and rocks with the .260
