[QUOTE="liltank, post: 586578, member: 13275"] Well here are my suggestions. The .260 and 300 are definitely 800+ yard whitetail rifles. The core lokts will be good to about 500yds. After that, they will loose their ability to be very effective. If you want to stick with Core-lokt's then I suggest moving up to the 180 grain. However going to a better bullet in Federal, Black Hills, HSM (may or may not shoot in your rifle. they are finicky), Nosler, and Remington's accutip ammo. They are specifically designed to shoot farther, more accurately and hit harder. Take the Weaver off the 260 if you prefer the 300 and put it on the 300. This will get you where you need to be with optics. Have your trigger adjusted as light as it will safely go. You will need to verify your drops. This will require you to go out and start writing down how many MOA it will take to get to each distance. I suggest going in 50yd increments to your farthest distance you want to shoot. If you own an iPod, iPhone, or smart phone you can download apps, look for some of the ballistics apps. Once you know your drops, you can load your info into the ballistic app that will give you drops for all distances. If you do one of these apps, then just verifying drops at 4 or 5 different yardages will hook you up. I suggest a 1 or 2 hundred yard zero. Then get your drops at 300, 500, 700, and 850.
