[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1852557, member: 112413"] Hunt with a 20" barreled 260 and have found that 43.9gr of IMR4350 with Fed 210M primers and 130gr Accubonds are a lethal hunting load. Shot a 138lb dressed, so maybe a 160lb live deer with a high shoulder shot. Broke and pentrated thru both shoulder's and left a golfball sized exit wound. Deer was down and dead within a body length. Very light recoil for a light short barreled gun as well. I love the 260 and feel it's a perfect mid size game rifle, would work well on elk with either the 130gr or 140gr AB. Accuracy is great with accubonds, yesterday at the range it shot a perfect 3 shot cloverleaf group while doing a distance off lands test. [/QUOTE]
