I'd go with a 7mm-08. While there are some good bullets for the 260 there are tons of good bullets in 7mm. I used to shoot nothing but Nosler Partitions out of my first 7mm08, Rem 700 BDL, but my latest one, a model 70 featherweight, really likes the 140 grain Sierra ProHunter.

308 , ammunition is still cheap ,and you can use on any game in WA ,plus it is great sniper caliber .
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
