[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1452378, member: 7999"] I am guessing that your 260 has a 9" twist? If so I would run the 117g Sledge Hammer at an expected vel about 3050fps. With an 8" twist if I were setting it up for myself I would choose the 110g Hammer Hunter. You should expect close to 3200fps out of it and I would not hesitate to use it on elk out to your range of 400y. They will handle shoulders if necessary. At 3000' elevation with a 300y zero you only have 8.5" of drop at 400y. This bullet would still be traveling at over 2400fps at 400y. Good medicine! Steve [/QUOTE]
