Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Reduced loads for a 260 for hunting.......

I’ve used 21.0 grains of BlueDot (gasp!) under a 100-grain Nosler Ballistic Tip for years in my 26” M700 VLS. Accuracy aggs around 1 moa and velocity is 2512 fps. Recoil is never high in the big M700, but is much less than factory level loads. That bullet kills well at that speed, excellent penetration and expansion in medium deer. 19.0 grains is more accurate, but is a bit slow for my hunting ranges.
