[QUOTE="LongRangeAmmo, post: 447313, member: 28438"] I've shot a lot of .260 Rem at ranges out to 1000 yds. It's a very flat shooting cartridge that won't burn your barrel out too quickly. Also it carries plenty of energy to hunt with... unless you are hunting moose or something like that. I load a lot of 130 gr. Norma Diamond line VLD bullets on Nolser brass and out of a GA precision rifle. I've experienced 4 in. groups at 1000. This cartridge in a light weight hunting rifle will give you plenty of power and with the low recoil of the .260 it isn't hard at all to keep rounds on target all day long, which makes practice more fun that shooting an -06 or 7 rem mag. That is only my opinion and I never discourage people who have a need to shoot something bigger. Don't get me wrong. I like big fast cartridges too:) [/QUOTE]
