I've great results with the 130 Swift S2 in the 260 and 6.5-284. It has become my go to hunting bullet for both cartridges.

In shooting it out to 1000 yards I've found the BC to be correct if not even better, it has great hang time.

Shooting the Swift into wet newsprint at 200 yd impact velocities the Swift S2's will out penetrate the Nosler 130 AB with a little wider CS. I suspect it opens up differently.

No doubt it will slam an elk, even at distance.

In the 260 I tried just about every powder to get them to shoot, the S2 can be finicky, then I tried H4350 45.2g for 2,900 fps for an accuracy load,
22" barrel. Lapua 243 brass necked up. Rem primer.

I have complete confidence in it.
