[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1295173, member: 75933"] I've been loading the 143gr in my 260 at about 2750fps. It's an excellent bullet that kills well. That being said, it is soft. My brother used the gun to take a caribou on the north slope of Alaska and at 300yds we got a pass through, but I'm still picking jacket pieces out of the meat. I think it's ideal for extended distances, but won't be using that bullet in the deer woods where shots are always inside 150yds. The same gun took a white tail doe at approx 75yds, full pass through and surprisingly minimal meat damage thanks to a rib/lung shot. So, for long range, yes, close range only, definitely no.
