i think the 260 is one of the most underrated cartridges around. that 6.5 bullet that it shoots is a really good bullet, especially with the 140 grain bullets. a 140 grain 260 bullet will hit harder down range than a 150 308 bullet will because the 140 is a heavy for caliber bullet. but you can also shoot the lighter bullets at coyotes. my dad had a 260 and he shot a bunch of coyotes with it.
