    In all reality 129/130 gr is enough for 260...... the 100gr Nosler does very well but because of the speed it waists a bit of meat and 130gr doesn't kick much more.... but if recoil is an issue 100gr loaded slower is a sweet kids load, I have seen goats taken beyond 400 yards with a 18-20" barrel (I think its 18") with ease and seen gongs hit at 780 yards with 260 and 130 gr pills with a great hit rate (3 from 3 with a new shooter once dialed in)
