Ballistically speaking, the .260 is getting a lot of chatter these days.

.260 is a great gun however it's hard on barrels. Something to think of long term.

Yeah. There are some 6.5 wildcats that shoot fast enough to be a barrel burner. The 260, Creedmor, 6.5x47 are sweethearts though.

Don't have a 260 so I don't know for sure but I bet it will outlast at 243 and not quite as long as a 308 with normal usage. but if I had your problem I would routinely be doing mag dumps at hogs from great distances away and would expect it to eat the barrel quicker.

The 260 and CM are so close in velocity, barrel life should be a wash. The CM does have a leg up on brass availability because Hornady actually supports it, something Remington is apparently clueless about. The CM chamber is a bit shorter throated, I've read, enabling an easier kiss of the lands at the same SA magazine length. This is significant but only a concern for hand loaders, though.

Lapua makes it for the 260. Like a wiseman said "I only shoot calibers that Lapua makes brass for "
