    I've had both and have used a .25cal for years which is a great cal but limited by projectile choice.
    I now have a couple of .260 which are great although I think it may be a bit handicapped in the model 7 due to their short mag. I run 143ELDX at 2800fps but are seated way out as it's in a Tikka with long mag.
    I used to use Hornady 120 hp in my 2506 at 3050fps. You will need to reload for the .260 to get the best out of it, which ever way you go either are great calibers.
