[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1603187, member: 109476"] My first 260 was & is a 6.5x308 wildcat built long before Rem brought out the 260. Douglas stainless 22" Bbl, 1/8 twist. The only bullet shot thru it has been the Barnes original 120gr X bullet. It has taken several elk cleanly with one shot kills.Complete penetration every time. It drives the 120gr at 3004 fps using Win 760 powder/ H-414. Same powder , different label. Also have a Savage model 16 260 that loves the Barnes 120gr TSX. Hung my 338 up years ago. In my 6.5's that have a 1/9 twist they handle 140 gr bullets just fine. I make all my 260 brass from once fired 308. One pass thru a FL sizer & load. No trimming or neck turning required. Case life is excellent & very economical to load. [/QUOTE]
