Just wanted to say that I used 120 grain Ballistic Tips in my 260 last year to take two nice big bodied southern whitetail bucks. The first weighed 180 pounds and was 180 yards away. Bang Flop. The second
bottomed out a 200 pound scale. Estimate him at about 230 pounds. He was 275 yards away. Dead right there as well. Both deer were high shoulder shots. Both broke the spine. The first one exited. Recovered the second under offside hide.
These were from Federal factory loads that my chrony said were doing about 2850fps. These shot under an inch at 100 yards and were about 2 inches at my 270 yard steel deer target.
I believe the 120 NBT is a perfect deer bullet at 260/6.5 swede/creedmoore velocity. Can email pix of the deer and the targets to anyone that wants to see them or help me post them here.
