Scored with the .260

From the rust bucket action to a pretty good shooter the .260 has been fun. Killed this buck Saturday at 216 yards. Used a 140 partition. The gun shoots under 1/2". Pleased with the load and gun.







I will pull it back down to finish fixing the finish from the rust.

And the proof is in the pudding.

It has been fun to follow your restoration of the "rust bucket" to the final result on a beautiful buck. Great project.

Excellent work!

Turned out to be a good project test. Congrats on the nice buck. I run 129 Hornadys and H4350 in my .260 MGM 12".

CONGRATULATIONS

Congrats! Nice buck with your 260.

Thanks fellers! I can't resist rejuvenating neglected guns.
Very satisfying when you get to use them.

Well done all the way!

Nice work on the gun and the buck! Congrats! What kind of velocity are you getting with that 140 grain PT?

nicely done on both the gun and the buck!

Congrats Sir

That was a long story with a very happy ending. Congratulations on bringing that frame back to life and on an outstanding buck!

Just over 2400fps. I can go hotter but that works out to 1000ftlbs at 350 yards which is farther than I can shoot in the current hunting spot. This load is so accurate I can make precision shots as far as I can shoot. Dropping to 125gr Partitions lets me go to right at 2700fps if needed. This barrel is a 1:8 so the 140s are a perfect match.

Beautiful shot. It just doesn?t get any better than that! Heck of a poke with the handgun.

Well done all round!
I love that cartridge.

Outstanding. Nice shooting iron.

Fantastic job on bringing that frame back from the brink of a write-off, and on putting it to good use!
