[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 484963, member: 11717"] This seems a little optimistic to me. First, I think Nosler's advertised BC of .449 is very optimistic, but even if it were true, using an MV of 2920 which is the highest that Nosler lists for this bullet and round, I am getting 1665 fps @ 700 yds @ 1000' elevation. With a good load of RL17, you might be able to bump that MV by 100 fps or so. Also, I would look at the 130 Scirocco which likely has a legititimate .5 BC plus and is a good hunting bullet. I doubt the deer would know the difference. I think 700 yds is probably stretching the 260 Rem for deer. The 6.5 - 284 would be a better choice IMO. That being said, a .264 chambering will limit your rifle options. -Mark [/QUOTE]
