That Berger ammo is some seriously good sh*t. I've been shooting it in my custom heavy barrel, and it likes.........
My first 260 is a Ruger 77 all-weather and while it was love at first sight, it turned out to be a struggle to find good loads that it liked. I think I've tried most of the standard bullet/powder combos (100gr BT and Partition....NO. 120gr BT and Sierra Prohunter - OK. 140gr bullets - NOPE.) Finally tried the 120gr TTSX and found good accuracy with Reloader 19. Inadvertently shot some of my Ruger reloads in my Forbes and it liked the TTSX/RE19 combination even better than the Ruger.
I've had best luck with the 120s in hunting loads. The 120 BT and Prohunter both open up pretty quick. The last buck I shot with a Prohunter caught the bullet behind the offside shoulder at about 85 yds. He was a big, 200lbs+ deer though. The TTSX just keeps going until it achieves a low-earth orbit.
Great cartridge though....I guess that's why I own three.
