only those who don't own or shoot the 260 or 6.5x55 ,would make a stupid statment like that regarding the preformance of the 260 or 6.5x55 . it is without a doubt one of the best choices avalible and won't burn out your barrel in a short time like a .243 . I cant think of anything I would rather have for your long range hunting than a 260 Rem or 6.5x55 . if you hand load the 6.5x55 is a dream come true.
