[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1200903, member: 82202"] I harvested a few deer with the 140 NAB at the velocities you're talking and have since switched. The deer would act like they weren't hit. They did not travel very far but small entries and exits were SOP. I believe the 142 LRAB probably will expand more however it is a bonded bullet just like its short range cousin. Try the 123 AMAX right behind the shoulder. You will know they are hit then. The 123 has a BC of about 520 and from what I have read the 142 LRAB is actually about 570 not much better in actual performance. I would suggest the 140 but I believe it has been discontinued. I have used the 140 AMAX the 140 NAB THE 120 NBT and the 120 TSX to harvest whitetail and the AMAX is my choice. I have heard good things about the 123 AMAX when I run out of 140's I will probably go to them or back to the NBT. IMO the 260 Rem is at its best inside 400 and high ballistic coefficients are not a prerequisite for shooting at that range. Where are you going on the whitetail hunt? Good luck and shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
