[QUOTE="Clay Target Guy, post: 1200623, member: 68920"] I am trying to work up a load to whitetail deer hunt with in a 260 Remington. I have another 260 that I am shooting 100 gr NBT's out of and it has worked great but the BC on that bullet is not great for longer ranges. I have a new 260 build that I am going to be working the load for and bought 3 boxes of the 142 gr Nosler LRAB's for based on the .71 BC. This gun has a 24" Brux 1-8 twist on it and I am hoping to get 27-2800 FPS range out of it. After doing some reading I am starting to second guess my bullet choice. I have been reading where this bullet will over penetrate and not expand and would be a better choice for elk sized game. My question is, should I proceed with load work up with this bullet or back up to something in the 120-130 gr weight bullet. I hope to play with some shooting as well at longer ranges (600-1000 yards) as well but this is mostly a hunting gun. Thanks [/QUOTE]
