The 140's c&c (coreloct,) work well in my 700TI barreled .260. 20"? 22"?
In fact, the 140 is the only bullet weight that I've found that it likes, so far. If the shortages ever ease up, I'll try some more additional hand loading for it, so far at a minimum. Right now, I'm just using factory loads.
The factory Barnes TSX in 120 gave me the worst groups of any I've tried. Accuracy of the load, terminal performance, knowing the distance and trajectories thereof is far more important than velocities or bullet weights. Within reason.
Had no problem killing an elk at @150, nor last year's cow caribou at 294, with the 260.
Nor with 150-180 grain loads in a 17" barreled '06 over the years, out to 400 yards, sheep and caribou.
At distance, just mortar slower loads in.....
