    Yeah, 140 amax. I use a reasonably cheap Slik. I think it's a Sprint Mini II or something. 780 grams though!

    This is what I use. 380 grms (470grms with the quick detach head I have on mine). Excellent.

    That video has sold me on the 260. I am always slightly put off by something I cant just go get ammo for incase i run out or forget it. Having that much killing power at that range, with a medium velocity bullet out of a short action is a huge turn on.

    More about the shot placement than the cartridge.

    Nah it's all good, just only take it when I'm walking a long way and want to go really light. The macpac is more hardwearing
