I've killed many with my savage 260. Run 140 Nosler BT. Little hammer.
Or maybe all of the rounds energy was depleted inside the body cavity causing massive internal damage instead of wasting energy down range as it passes through the game and continues down range LMAOIt must be good caliber for whitetails. With a good bullet very accurate. Here in Europe we like the bullet to go through the deer or moose penetrading the lungs and making one hole to both side of the skin so the the heart pumps the blood out and bloodpressure comes down fast. If the bullet stays in the animal it has not worked the best way or it has been shot too far or with too small caliber.
Anybody use a 260 Rem for whitetails?
I inherited one from my father in-law, always used my 7 mag in past seasons. I am feeling alittle undergunned. Shots will be out to 150 yds only, but no experience with this round.
Your not undergunned if you can shoot. I personally like 30 cal projectiles because I once lost the biggest buck of my life due to using a fad round in 25 cal, the 25 WSSM , that hit a twig 8 feet in front of the buck that I am convinced would have died if I had used a heavier bullet less prone to exploding on a twig but the reality is it was my fault not the rounds fault. I hurried the shot and if I would have just waited for him to take two more steps he would have been in the open and I would have been sittin here typing this reply lookin at him over my fireplace LOL.My son did this past year
