Tom,
I thought you hinted elsewhere about open sights. I have some classic old school pieces if this is the case. Ed, I did..but my fickle rifle looneys has taken another detour....

260 is the way to go, I've had all 3 of the rounds you mention.
If it's a big game rifle the 260 gives you slippery BC's for longer shots, and you still have 123 gr Lapua's for messing even further if you want to go lighter.

Sheister, my son put a grapefruit sized hole thru a deer at 300 long paces, using an 85 Sierra BTHP GK, from a Browning Low Wall, broadside..........Plenty damage. I have drilled shoulders of an 8pt WT at 100 yds using the 95 BT, and look at the pics on this link of a hog I dropped in it's tracks at 240 yds........ http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...ger_1_International_Who_has_#Post3091822Yep, a 243 is just too small.............Lol.

Hint: for those of you on the edge of your seats..I just ordered an English Red Pad for it.
English Red goes with anything.....

Good choice amigo. You'll find that 85grn TSX is the shizzle, just like the 62grn .223 and 100grn .257.
It will blow the guts out of anything less than three feet thick.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
