[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 977981, member: 34818"] If you are going to run a 260 rem, you can't go wrong with the 130 gr or 140 gr berger. If you run the data through shooter, the 130 gr berger going 2950 fps actually drops about 2 MOA less than the 140 gr berger going 2800 fps and only has 80 foot pounds of less energy. I used those fps for each bullet because that is about the velocity that people are gettig out of both of the bullets in a 26" barrel. Even with wind at 900 yards there isn't too much difference between the two. The 140 Berger is 4.4 MOA left and the 130 gr berger is 4.6 MOA left with a 10 mph wind coming from the 9 o'clock. I am starting to purchase parts for my 260 rem build down the road and the nice thing is that you can find a load for the 140 gr and the 130 gr berger and just use either one that the stores have in stock and be completely confident.
