[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 189425, member: 10178"] I think the 260 Rem would make a dandy deer popper of a hand gun. I know it is in a rifle. You should be able to get a 120 gr. bullet going around 2600 - 2700 fps from a 15 inch barrel. I shoot the 6.5X55 Swede in a rifle and a 120 gr. Sierra that starts out at 2900 fps will drop a deer in it's tracks at 300 to 400 yards, I have not had the opportunity to shoot one any further away. If I ever move up from the Contender to the Encore the 260 Rem will be the first barrel in get. [/QUOTE]
