I have been thinking of trying the 143 gr Hornady ELD-X in my .260. As the 130 gr Bergers and 130 gr JLK's I have used make big exit holes in the antelope. I usually use RE-17 with them. I will start with RE -26 with the Hornady bullet. Velocity has never been an Issue with my .260 as the Barrel is a nice smooth 30"Kreiger........
