Shot this doe at 540 yards on the last day of our doe season. 260 Rem 100gr NBT @3450fps. Sighted in at 350yard zero and held 1 mil high. Dropped like a bag o' poop. Savage 260 Rem Criterion barrel, B&C stock, EGW base and 4-14X50 IOR with MP 8 reticle. ![[Linked Image]](http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp72/260madman/IMG_0154_zpswvzxs0tx.jpg) Shot off of my homemade garden stake shooting sticks kneeling in a snow bank.

Didn't you know that there is no way that you can shoot a 100-grain bullet that far? It should have just plunked into the dirt.
Good shot! I love my .260, but I use 129 Interlocks @ 3000 fps.

At least you used an efficient catridge to launch your ping pong ball.

I'm married to the 260. Was into before the Creed came along and wasn't going to switch.
SFP scope also!
I recovered the jacket from f the NBT. Was very surprised the core separated at that distance. I gave the doe to a friend and he said it had a decent hole in the shoulder when he butchered it.
I'll have to post a pic of the high tech shooting sticks. Hockey tape on them.

Great shot, not familiar with the 260 but you did a super job with it on that doe. Alot longer shot than I have ever shot at game but I am dreaming!!
Thanks

" 260 Rem 100gr NBT @3450fps."
Seems awfully fast! What is your load and barrel length?
I could barely muster 3500 fps from my Rem 700 Sendero!

28" barrel. 43.5gr IMR 4064. Gee that load sounds awfully familiar... owning a couple of 260s, I don't need that explained to me... My Rugers with 22 inch barrels give me 3350 fps with a 100 grain Ballistic Tip... The VLS Rem, with a 26 inch barrel with that load yields 3450s fps... hence why I don't see what a proper 260s gives up to a Creedmoor...

The 260 is still a great cartridge even though the 6.5 Creedmoor is the in cartridge right now. My Savage 260 Rem has a 3" magazine and I have had no problems loading sleek bullets. I seems like short actions are getting longer these days than the 2.8" that seems to have been the standard.
