Instead of .260, look for a 6.5Creedmoor. Although the 260 and 6.5cm are both twins in terms of ballistics, the configuration of the CM brass allows you more room to chase the lands as the throat wears. The Hornady match ammo with the 140 Amax is dead-nuts accurate, readily available and has very similar drop characteristics out to 1,000yds as a 300wmag. If you like a lighter bullet there are several other options as well.

I have all the pieces ready for build to go to Jon Beanland out west of Altus. Stiller Tac 30 a/w action, DBm, kreiger bbl showed up Wednesday and a Vortex Viper PST ffp mrad 6-24x50. His rifles are second to none. After this build, my .308 is going to the classifieds.
