Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What bullet weight for 260, up to 500 yard deer hunting ??

I have shot a lot of bullets in my 260(s). Right now, all I use are 140 Sierra Game Kings. If you are limited to 500 yards, you don't need the VLDs but they don't hurt either. The Sierras have proven to be excellent killers, excellent accuracy, easy to get to shoot and CHEAP.

Worse bullet so far is 140 TBBC. Probably kill great on big stuff but horribly inaccurate.

I know Bobby Tomek on here has a good bit of 6.5 experience, and used the 140 SGK w/good results, as many other bullets on Tx deer/hogs. Hard to find a bad bullet in the 120-140 range if built for game.

130 berger/ 140 a-max used both at the range you speak with good results.
