    or dont bother with the rebarrel at all.....all three of those calibres have been doing what you ask for years....yip the .308 will need a bit of kentucky windage or dial up out at 400.....yip the EBRG is getting marginal and will need good shot placement ...and yes 7mm-08 is no good if you like regular coffee and not frothy soy lattees but other than those wee issues,is there any MAJOR real world gain changing to 260???
