.308 or .338?

If you ever had a desire to shoot in a competition, that 200g bullet will exceed the maximum allowed at some venues.

Personally, I'd go .260 Rem. Significantly better than .308 at long range, low recoil, less expensive (a tiny bit) to load. Since it's .308 based, I assume it should run in the AR-10.

It's on my list of toys to want.

I briefly considered the 260 Remington but heard reports that it could be a bit rough on barrels. I suppose as little as I will probably realistically shoot it I might not wear a barrel out. Heck, even if I did wear one out every four or five years I guess the cost of a new barrel wouldn't be so bad. I'll have to do a little more research on it tonight.

Once again, thank you all for the helpful advice and information. That's why I posted this up here.
