Do you currently handload for your .260?
mike from tex, my load data is in the basement, i'll get it for you, also my 260 barrel on my encore is a rifle barrel, i do have a 15" in 7mm-08 on a different frame, you'll love your encore pistol and the 260 is a neat idea
. also yea i have thought about the .308 brass i have never done any cal. changes like that but it could come to that. thank goodnes they'll always be a good supply of .308 stuff, i have a 7mmSTW, don't ask me why, but i've bought up a bunch of brass for it, and at the rate i shoot it (hardly ever) it should last my lifetime...
Wow... You guys are all obsessed with the 260!!!
not obsessed but it is a neat little gun in a package like my wifes model 7 or a ruger compact and like i had mentioned before when i went looking for my wife a rifle i was pretty set on the model 7 remington, but i started out looking for a
7mm-08, which is one of my favorites.
I like the 6.5x55, partly because I have five of them. It can do anything the .260 can, so there really isn't any practical difference.
ballistically almost the same both are great smaller lighter recoiling rounds and very capable on deer sized game.
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
it is the perfect cartridge for a lot of folks, i know i like mine
