What would be the difference in felt recoil between a 260 rem shooting a factory loaded 120 grain bullet and a 7mm08 shooting a factory loaded 140 grain bullet?
I am really torn between these two calibers. I would really like a 260 in a stainless steel sythetic stocked A-bolt Browning. (Yes they did make some but they don' t anymore.) I am a little worried however about it being such a new caliber. Don' t want to get 3 years down the road and have nowhere to buy bullets for it. The 7mm-08 on the other hand is pretty well established and easily found in all makes and brands of guns but if it doesn' t kick a good bit less than the 30-06 that I already own then I see no point in buying it. I' m looking for a gun that is a pleasure to shoot all day at the range that can also be used for whitetails. Would love to hear from anyone with first hand experience or other suggestions for a caliber that would fit this requirement.
