Default .260 Remington for deer?

There is talk in some circles of using the .260 as a tactical police round instead of the .308. They can have BCs over .6, cook along pretty good, and have plenty of energy for deer at several hundred yards.

Anybody like it for deer?

With a 140g Amax bullet, I think it did about 2,800 fps, and penetrated around 18 inches in gelatin with a nice wound channel.
