[QUOTE="Ski, post: 484899, member: 28658"] The 260 is big enough for deer sized animals out to 700 yards. With the 125 partition, it is still traveling over 1700 fps, which would give you the needed expansion to do the job. The drop would be ~49 clicks(1/4moa) if you have the zero at 300. Wind drift for 5 mph direct crosswind is ~11 clicks(1/4moa). The energy would be in the 800-825 range, which again will do the job. You shouldn't overlook it just because it is a necked down 308 case. The 125 nosler partition isn't the highest bc in the 260 class, but I've found it to be very effective on whitetail and mulies. There is basically very little recoil, which can give you the confidence to squeeze at the longer distances without anticipating the "kick". In the right hands, with practice, one could extend the 700 yard range out further and still be effective. And, you can stay relatively light in comparison to bigger bangers, which is a plus when you are in the field. [/QUOTE]
