frizzellr-I agree with your response 100%.There is nothing that the 260 can do that the 7mm-08 can' t.As for the 260 being more accurate all I can say is B.S.The gun and load are far more of a factor where accuracy is concerned than the specific cartridge, especially when both cartridges use the same parent case and are so close in bullet diameter.As previously stated the cartridges are so close that there is no real difference between the two.If anything the 7mm-08 maybe a bit more suitable for use on larger game because of it' s ability to use slightly heavier bullets.
