Nothing wrong with the .260 Rem.. I been wanting a 6.5X284 for a few years now.. The .260 Rem along with modern day premium bullets is an excellent choice for deer antelope sheep goat, one of my Dads freinds and hunting partners ( who is pushing 64) uses a 6.5x.284 on his 10,000 ft Elk and deer hunts now , just cause his age is limiting the amount he can carry, and the recoil factor with a lighter weight firearm..He has no problems dumping bigger size game animals either.These are a great hunting caliber..
