- The .260 Remington is a short-action cartridge developed by Remington Arms in the late 20th century. It is based on a necked-down .308 Winchester case and uses a .264 caliber bullet, making it an ideal choice for those seeking accuracy and performance at medium range shooting distances.
The .260 Remington's excellent ballistic coefficient gives it flat trajectories and good retained energy levels, making it a good pick for hunters looking to take down small to medium sized game such as deer or coyotes without having to be up close and personal with the animal. Its low recoil also makes it suitable for novice shooters or youngsters learning how to shoot, while its high velocity ensures impressive knockdown power when needed.
