Multiple shoulder surgeries you say? Sounds like a job for H4895 some 125gr Nosler ballistic tips and a hand loading kit.
Then you can just shoot the .308 and adjust the recoil and velocity to what you can stand.
Just based on trying multiple calibers that are relatively close together and also working up several reduced loads over the years, I really don"t think you're gonna "feel" a lot less recoil with the 260 in a standard factory loading than you would the .308 in a factory loading. Just an opinion
