7mm-08 vs 260

[Mike Moss]

I have own the 243, 260 7mm-08 and 308 in new Kimber 84M's in fact.

All are good rounds so if you like one of the the other just practice and use the right bullet for the game and range.

I sold the 260 as it did not fit in with the way I hunt but it may be ideal for you.

That 260 would whip the 95 VMax out over 3300 fps but that bullet still might richocet so it's not an ideal varmint rifle for settled areas. Otherwise the 7mm-08 and 308 will run with the 260 for big game.

None of those rounds kick much. The 308 is a USA military cartridge and it can shoot 180 gr bullets if you want to. That makes sense to me.

To each his own.
