Thread: 260

Does anybody shoot 120 gr projectiles in their 260. I currently run 123 gr in mine but they are really hard to find at moment. I'm down to half a box of seirra 123 gr hp matchkings and toying with the idea of 120 gr eldm if I can find some.

Yep I use 120 Amax

Not a 260 as such but run 120gr Bt's in my 6.5x55, and yip into my last box, and they only come in boxes of 50, so.....
Fuck.

Gunworks have 120 grain Eld-M in stock now - 1 box per customer. If you've got the twist rate they also have 140 grain Sierra Gamechangers - 2 boxes per customer.

I use 120gr speer gold dots in 260 and 6.5 x 55.

Wow, sounds like components are scarce. I read a lot of forums with Americans finding it tough to get gear.
Sounds like NZ are the second wave and it will in turn affect Australia. I suspect we have been clearing importer stock and they will come up short on future shipments.

Don't be silly, you watched a 270meter kill 2 weeks ago with a projectile half the size
Imagine what I can do with a 120gr.
