"The .260 Remington blows .308 out of the water. It has 35% less wind drift and about 10 MOA less drop at 1000 yards than the standard 175-grain M118LR load. Despite a 35-grain deficiency in bullet mass, it has 31% more energy because it loses less along the way due to atmospheric drag, hitting 350 fps faster at 1000 yards."
Alot of the changes you are talking about can be compensated for with a good scope and an accurate ballistics program on your load. If you are simply looking for a round with the smallest amount of compensation needed at longer ranges then say hello to the .338LM!
