Hello all, I'm looking to either buy a new barrel or sell my rifle and buy another action to hook up with a barrel.
1. I;ve looked into the pros and cons of both .260rem and .243. THe .243 would be cheaper to shoot and has a high ballistics coefficient. The 260 rem has a high ballistics coefficient and has more knockdown power. But How much more? If I use this rifle to hunt it would probably be mid size game like whitetail/hogs. I would probably also target shoot with it. So which cartridge has the most bang for the buck to reload, all around shooting capabilities (flat shooting, wind bucking), and killing power?
