The 'Warren Commission' report!
Nice recap/report, thanks for sharing, congrats on the fine shot, indeed the 260 is a fine round, as many other 6.5s, one of my favs, simple, and works!
Deer pics would be nice.
To date I have used the 130 AB as my choice for an all around 6.5 slug in 260/6.5x55, bc .488....at LR, retention would not be an issue, and expansion might be more positive at lower speeds w/a cup/core. A 120 NBT is a good one Dober, no doubt. Some guys on the LR hunting forum have used the 140 Amax to 600-650 yds on deer, they no doubt do very well at reduced speeds.
Not recommending changing what works, but if one wants to REALLY stretch a 6.5, a mono may not be the optimum, but again if it works, I won't argue w/success. No doubt I'd run an LRX thru an Elk, and not shy from any shot angle if I knew the shot would end up thru vitals. Tough bullets, something I'd lean to for larger than deer game.
