This is a 129 Grain Hornady Spire Point. I shot it out of a Tikka T3 chambered for 260 Remington.

Shot was taken at about 55 yards, in and out through the ribs and back into an off side ham. Deer weighed about 110 or so.

I use the same bullet in my .260 Rem rifle and .260 Rem Encore pistol, exact same load of 44 gr. IMR 4350. I've recovered half a dozen of these over the last few years and they look exactly like this. 2850 fps from the 22" barreled rifle, 2600 from the 17" barreled Encore. Great performance.
