AverageJoe Report post Posted June 15, 2013 Im so absolute because physics doesn't lie. I have both a 308 and a .30-06 as well as a bunch of 6.5s including a .260 Remington that can and does out shoot both of the 30s in windage and trajectory until the 200 grain bullets are used and even then they are so close why bother with the added powder usage and increased recoil for the same end result. As far as the barrel ware argument goes we are talking about hunting rifles. The barrel life of any of these cartridges will last longer than most hunters when used in actual hunting scenarios by that I mean normal sight in, practice and actual hunting use. .308nut is not talking about just hunting rifles. He has put more rounds downrange than most could ever dream of. When he speaks, one should listen, it is not based on opinion, it is based on experience. You trying to argue with him is quite comical to say the least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOMP442 Report post Posted June 16, 2013 Oh really. Well last I checked the OP started this thread based on the merrits of the .260 as a hunting cartrige. Also, I have plenty of experience in shooting, not only in hunting but match shooting as well and probably put 10 times as much lead down range in any given month than most people on this site. My statements are based in fact as well and perhaps 308Nut is not the only guy on this site with extensive shooting time or knowldge. You should think before you type.

MRL1984 Report post Posted June 17, 2013 Hey guys I am considering purchasing a rifle chambered in 260 Remington and am looking for opinions on it (good or bad). It would be used solely for coues hunting. I am totally new and not familiar with the round and had a couple questions: 1st being reloading, is it easy to reload?.....is it hard to find components for it? 2nd question is it capable of making a clean kill at 400-500 yards.... or beyond? 3rd question is how is its recoil compared to a .243? I appreciate any comments on this!Just curious how we got from the above to 308nut being the God of rifle and standing up for him. Stomp or 308 won't lead anyone down a wrong path. Both are more than willing to share their knowledge, when asked. They are having a healthy discussion/debate and are grown men, let em be without a referee.
