RE: Why did the .260 Remington not take off as a standard caliber?
Wow... You guys are all obsessed with the 260!!!
I would probably add one to, now having said that I am VERY happy with my .243 as my lighter recoiling rifle to be used in a pinch for varmints and as a backup to my favorite... The 7mm-08. That's right I love the 7mm-08, I have a browning A-bolt and a Remington Model 7 in it. To me it might be the BEST whitetail deer cartridge (the 257 roberts, 260 rem, and 25-06 would be my next choices in that category).
