Thread: 123sst and 130 berger vld hunting in 260

I had a semi custom rifle built from a t3 a couple of years ago now the barrel is true flight ultra match 1/8.5 twist at 18 inches I have never developed a load for it just chucked something together and went shooting
So I need to give it justice and get it shooting how it should

And i am useing a standard medium length mag
Seated to mag lenth both the vld and the sst are below the shoulder vld slightly more so

Nothing can be done about that yet so will have to live with it

I was going to stick to win760 as being a ball powder it takes up a little less room in the case which will help since the bullet is taking up a fair bit also 760 gives good speed according to manuals which I need to try and keep up as much as I can in the short barrel

Dose anyone have any experience with shooting these bullets in the 260
Any advice?

Also id really like to know how you think they perform hunting
I know the Bergers are really designed as a longer range pill so how do they perform on game at 0-300m?
