Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 260 Remington Deer Bullets

Yeah,

I've taken several deer with that combo at 300 plus yards..
even at that distance, the 100 grain Ballistic tip left about 15lbs of blood shot meat on the oft side shoulder..

each deer was DRT, but I don't recommend that bullet on MVs over 2600 fps anymore...

I have about 300 Nosler 105 grain SMP partitions, that were factory seconds, from some Euro contract overrun...I use those at 3350 fps out of my Rugers.

work up, and I can only verify it being safe in my rifle, but it is not much more than some load data posted with this powder...my load is 43.5 grains of IMR 4064 over a large rifle primer and a 100 grainer seated out to touch the lands, or be magazine length...

a 100 grain Ballistic tip over 30 grains of RL 7 is also a darn good combo for ranges under 250 yds.. giving an Mv of 2600 fps...same with a 120 grain ballistic tip if hunting woods ranges, or where shots are under 250 yds...

addendum:

here the results of a 175lb Blacktail buck meeting a 100 grain Ballistic tip at 125 yds, that left the Muzzle at 3350 fps out of a Ruger 77 Mk 2..
