The 260 is a great round. The only down side to that I could think of is bullet selection. I have one in a Remington XP100R pistol, it is a great shooting round. Like Big Z mentioned a 7-08 is also another great round that is based on the same case, the bullet is slightly larger, 7mm vs. 6.5mm. The 7mm has way more bullet selection, and if you dont handload the 7-08 is way easier to find ammo for. Everey mom and pop gun store from coast to coast will have ammo for the 7-08 but probably not for the 260 Rem.
