Factory Ammo for .260

[95huskers]

Is there any factory Ammo for .260 Rem that you guys would recommend? I normally reload all of my bullets but won't shoot this gun much and would just like to use factory ammo for now to get started with it.

Any of the factory offerings with the heavier (130 gr and up) bullets here look good to me:

260 Remington - MidwayUSA

Prime Ammo would work, and probably pretty well. 130gr Golden Target. $32 a box. Doubtful you could go wrong with that or the 142 FGMM

I shoot Win and Rem thru my .260...both seems to be OK

I would try the 120 NBT ammo. That bullet shoots real good in all my 260's. Great for deer too. Never shot a factory round with them though.

For copper that ttsx ammo is probably good that GMAX is probably worth a try as well. I am surprised that many sources are available.

Good luck and shoot straight

Good choice, but on backorder currently.

The Federal 120 gr BT's shoot better than anything in my brothers model 7. I bought 2 boxes of HSM 130 gr Bergers for him, only to find out Remington screwed up (again..) & put too slow a twist on these rifles the first few years they were manufactured. They sent him a recall notice but the rifle is too darn accurate with my handloads for him to ship it back to Remington. I load him some 100 gr partitions for the .260 that shoot .5 to .7 MOA & are hell on whitetails in the woods...

Thanks for the help guys. I think i'm going to try out the 120gr Nosler BT's to start. Can't beat the price and that should be a perfect round for what I'm going to use the gun for if I can get them to shoot good out of my Tikka CTR.
