    260Rem with 130gr Norma golden targets and 123gr Amax's

    Anyone loaded 260REM with either of these projectiles?
    Also does anyone have any terminal experience with them on game?

    I'm using 2209, barnard SM action and looking to work up a load.

    Shot some Sika with the Amaxs at about 50m, doing 2950 at the muzzle. They all died.

    Nope. And one was a fawn. Just normal bullet performance.

    I used the 130 grain Norma VLD's on reds out of a 6.5-06. Explosive results, but dead deer every time.
