[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 544927, member: 30902"] I'll have my new .260 soon, 1:8 twist 24" so I'm starting to think ahead to ammo and loading. With the 1:8 twist I'm thinking I should stick to the 125-140's. I'll do some deer hunting with it, but primarily I'm thinking long range coyotes and other varmints so I'm wanting to keep it running as fast as I can while maintaining maximum accuracy. That all being the case I'm thinking I should focus on the 125-130gr bullets. Going to start with some Hornady SST's and Interbonds and Nosler Hunting Ballistic Tips and Accubonds. If I can find them there's supposed to be a sciroccoII in 6.5 130 gr that might be a good performer for this cartridge too. I'll be trying to keep my loads between 2,800-3,000fps. Sound like I'm on the right track? [/QUOTE]
