[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1315790, member: 7999"] Assuming your rifle has a 1-8" twist I would recommend our 124g Hammer Hunter. This bullet should run about 2950fps and have effective vel out to 700y. I calced this at 1000' elev. Higher elev would extend this a bit. Our bullet is a pure copper bullet and will have no trouble with quartering shots on the big animals. It will retain 70% and have no trouble with heavy bone. I still prefer broadside pump house shots but we all know that does not always happen. Zeroed for max point blank range your 260 would be able to kill elk out to 365y with no hold adjustment. If you are at 5000' elev or higher your max range will extend about 100y and still maintain 1800fps impact vel. This would be my choice. Steve [/QUOTE]
