.260 Rem

Is the .260 a possible white tail round?

heck yeah...

the .260 is the .308 case necked down to 6.5mm.

X2

SURE, that was part of the reason I got mine.

I built one last spring on a Striker action...loads with 129gr SST's shoot .5MOA to 400yds, which is about how far I would hold myself to using it on deer...for now. It's also the long range back up to my 7mm WSM XP-100.

6.5's rule

It will work very nicely

Mine does nicely. 120gr. Ballistic Tips.

Even elk

Works for me!



It also works on other game too

Can't go wrong with a 6.5! I've got 3, a 6.5TC/U, 6.5x55, and a .260Rem. Love 'em all.

DANG!!

Great trophies Wyote, but I think you have been holding out on us!!!

wyote...what load are you shooting? What kind of range of those animals?

I'm using a 120 gr Nosler BT over H4831 powder. I use winchester 7-08 brass that I've run thru a 260 sizer die.

The whitetail was shot crossing a river at a little less than a 150 yards. The antelope......I can't remember right off the top of my head but I believe it was between 200 to 250 yards. The mulie was right at 294 yards.

Those are some nice bucks Wyote!

Wyote, nice shooting and nice animals, guess you answered the gentlemans question about the effectiveness of the 260.

Wyote, if that's the kind of game a 260 will produce I can't wait to get my 260 to the woods!!

I agree with TC, where's your bragging board folder. We're calling you out!!....LOL

I just got a digital camera with a self timer several years ago so I don't have too many pic's but I'll check out the braggin board to see if I can get a folder going.
