[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1344790, member: 2736"] The 260 and the 7/08 are possibly the best deer cartridge around. The big magnums normally punch through and a lot of energy is wasted because it passes through with lots of energy still available. The 260 and the 7/08 have just enough energy to pass through with little remaining energy at the velocities they produce. I tried every bullet known to man to see which worked best on white tails and found that the ballistic tip worked best and a bullet weight of 120 to 130 with a muzzle velocity of 3000 ft/sec. These bullets are not recommended for the big magnums because of the velocity they produce, and there explosive nature, but they are perfect for the 260 Rem and the 7/08 rem. Using 120 grain ballistic tips I have takes several deer beyond 500 yards in my 7/08 pistol and they performed well (DRT) at the remaining velocity. The 260 is very close to the performance of a 7/08 and if the 260 AI is used, it is almost a ballistic equal to the 7/08. The 260 will be in its element at distances out to 4 or 500 yards.
