C'mon fluffy, everyone is an expert on here  seriously though, I will disagree on your comparison of the 243 at 600 being akin to a .22lr at 100 on elk.

A couple of the recoil charts I've looked at shows the 260 to have slightly more recoil. with what bullets? 120's in a 7.5# rifle on Chuck Hawks table Thanks.

It's sad the .260 never caught on in terms of sales. Really like the round.
I've heard Remington is chambering it in their SPS this year, lets see if that ups it any. Yep! In an 8 twist as well. Roy I know a lot of guys are happy they've changed the twist from 9 to 8. Was there a problem stabilizing 140g bullets w/ the 9 twist. 1-8" twist is just better I you chose to shot anything over 130 gr. bullets that are a vld shape.

162's are the dirty trick in 7-08 and the closest you'll get in a 260 is 140 Bergers with slightly less azz. 120's are neck and neck. 260 is also "243/105'ish" with 108 Scenars. I had a 243,260, and 7-08. Kept the one in the middle.
