My Custom Shop 260 Encore shoots the cheap stuff really good!
I use surplus IMR 7383 (36gr, but went up to 37.5)
CCI #34 military primer
PMC 139gr flat base bullet
Win 243 brass necked up

If you don't have a 243, Nosler 243 brass is significantly cheaper than 260 brass.

Missed out on the 260's but do have 454 nib :)(think its a highwall though). Had a extra 44 mag rebored to 50AE too - the crescent steel butt leaves an impression with full house loads!

ClarkM,

Nice Muley!!

I've always found the 7MM RM to be a sharp kicker. Of course when your placing the crosshairs on a nice buck like that, the recoil is probably not noticed.

Congratulations.
