[QUOTE="MTGunner, post: 2160940, member: 2922"] [B]Continuing to monitor this post with much interest for each cartridge due to the facts that there has been so information and opinions offered. Having said this, my range days are normally Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This often allows me to have the entire range to myself and peace and quiet. My normal range day with my 260AI constitutes one shot every 15-20 minutes as I want cold bore shots. My loads are 120 Nosler BT atop 47.0 grains of H4350. These chronograph at 2970+/- a deviation of 25fps. My point is that these are hunting loads that I practice all three shooting positions to continue attempting accuracy as my old bones age. I do not shoot off the bench any longer unless I am working up load development. There are no shooting benches in the mountains. But, I do practice with a bipod. Cannot actually say my 260AI is anymore accurate than a 6.5 Creedmore as do not own a Creedmore. But, whatever you employ to hunt with it is important to practice with under hunting, shooting conditions. I have dragged this Remington 700 mountain rifle and my old butt from the desert to mountains with this rifle. It has not let me down unless it was my lack of shooting prowess to blame.....and it happens to all at some time or another. Not at all embarrassed to say that I DO miss at times. So, back to the range to practice, practice and practice more. Keep up the good posts gentlemen as I enjoy the input and can still learn at my age. MTG[/B] [/QUOTE]
