In the past, I have used old Rem Core Lokt. The reason I am looking past them is they did not expand as I had hoped.What bullet do you use now, and do you eat the heart/lung?
try the factory swift's little upper end on pricing, but if they shoot in your rifle you won't balk at performance as far as factory ammo for 260 IMO.In the past, I have used old Rem Core Lokt. The reason I am looking past them is they did not expand as I had hoped.
I'm not concerned about the price. They're hunting bullets, I won't be going through them fast at all.try the factory swift's little upper end on pricing, but if they shoot in your rifle you won't balk at performance as far as factory ammo for 260 IMO.
Did you harvest the game? It has been a while, but I used Core Lokts for a long time, many years ago, with many successful harvests. As you can tell, we all have varying bullet preferences, and you can pay a premium on some of the recommendations. Before transitioning to Berger bullets (my go-to bullet of choice, but I have plenty of other different bullet designs/brands), I was a long-time Nosler (NP, NAB, NBT) user. I am not trying to convince you to switch to Berger bullets; I am just sharing my experience. With Berger, I stopped worrying about expansion, weight retention and pass-throughs up to 1KY.In the past, I have used old Rem Core Lokt.

Since you are not concerned about the price, you might consider the 100g ESP Raptor.I'm not concerned about the price. They're hunting bullets, I won't be going through them fast at all.
Oddly enough during the last "ammo shortage" my local scheels almost always had 260 factory ammo. So I grabbed 10 or so boxes over time. I don't think i'll ever use it all, especially if I try and find a reloaded round to use.Ammo and guns are like a marriage, some work perfect - others are a disaster. I'd take a couple samples and whatever performed to your standards get 100 rounds of it sell the rest and probably last you a long time. If i find a factory blend that I like i gather them up knowing they may discontinue something. Shooting a 260 you know all to well it's not usually something your buying at walmart on the shelf, and nothing sux worse then being dependent on a factory limited run caliber.
That's why i bought 200 rounds of nosler accubonds many years ago for my 264 - lol still shooting them!
yep if someone would have it - it would be scheels! LOLOddly enough during the last "ammo shortage" my local scheels almost always had 260 factory ammo. So I grabbed 10 or so boxes over time. I don't think i'll ever use it all, especially if I try and find a reloaded round to use.
