The 260 was a solution to a problem the didn't exist.
If that's true, then it's also true about everything since the '06.
Actually, it's probably true about everything since the .30 Gov't, aka .30-40 Krag. Ballistically comparable to a .308 Win. in a MODERN rifle. If we're arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin... Of course, I sold my .30-06s but still have a pair of .260 Rems and .243 Wins - both provide solutions to my "problems".
