[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1992725, member: 109476"] Played with my very accurate Savage 260 today & the Hammer Absolute 6.5 123gr . This Savage 260 Rem shoots tiny groups with the Barnes 120 gr TSX & the Hammer 121 gr Hunter. But had considerable problems getting decent accuracy with the Absolute. Started out with 45 grs of Win 760 . This load gives me 3004 fps with the Barnes 120 TSX & the Hammer 121gr. With the Absolute seated like my Barnes it shot about a 2" group. Started seating the bullet out longer & the group started to shrink a little. Finally seated out as far as I could & still feed thru the magazine of the Savage , with groups running about 1 1/4".
