Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 100 grain .260 loads

I've never tried the 100gr bullets out of my 260rem, but I have 2 swedes that really like them. 44grs of 4064 with a CCI 200 gives me 3100fps and a 300yd MPBR with the Ballistic tips.

All things considered, the 129gr SST/SP might be the best choice. The SST for the longer shots on smaller animals [pronghorns, deer] and the SP for tougher critters like bear, elk, sheep, etc. The POI should be pretty close for the first 250-300yds.

My Ruger 260 likes the 100 gr Sierra HP and H4350. It is very accurate but makes a bloody mess of whatever you hit.

I have bought other brands and weights but have not tried them yet. The Nosler ballistic tips just look so bad I will have to try them.
