GB. I think you are right on with the 125 gr PT for the 260. Some of the 260's with short barrels have a little trouble getting bullets to expand. The Partition in  the 120 grain and maybe even the 100 grain BT'S have worked well for me in my 260.

Well, for those who were holding their breath awaiting my results with the .243 I think you'll be pleased. Thanks to some extra assistance with my shooting stature and a more solid rest (much more solid...a big front bag and a rear bag were in hand this time around) I was getting 1" groups at 50 yds with the same ammo. If I had the target I would have scanned it for you all. But...this didn't help me yesterday b/c I missed a doe at point blank range out of a tree stand. I had to make a bold move and stand up to take the shot (b/c of a shooting rail and the fact I was covered by thick stuff on all sides she was in a good clearing)...I guess at the bad angle I was at and at such a close range the bullet went clear out of harms way. Oh well. I wasn't meant to have that deer. Take care and good luck!  :D

Quote from: Fishman029
Just got done sighting in my 700 ADL .243. Groups weren't that hot at 100 yds. but when I pulled them in to 50, they were a little less than 2". Hopefully that'll kill a deer this year (or two)  :grin:  :D These groups were with 100 grain Core-Lokts. 8)


My wife shoots an NEF 243 rifle.She too had problems with the 100 Grain corelockts.Then we tried the winchester supreme ballistic silvertips(95 grain).I hate to pay that much for bullets but thats what works for her gun.She shoots 1"-3"groups at 100 yards.Maybe you should try a few different kinds of ammo through it.My 30/30 seems too shoot whatever I put in it well.

This 25-06 Remington Sendero is one of the first run Remington made up. I nearly drove me crazy until I found out how sensitive the H&S Precision stocks are to bedding screw torque pressures. It was shooting 1.5 to 2" groups until I discovered the front bedding screw was set at 12 inch/lbs and the rear screw was set at 20 inch/lbs from the factory. I removed the barrel/action from the stock, cleaned off the bedding block, waxed the recoil lug and put a little Accuglass in the recoil lug cutout in the stock. Then I set the bedding screws to 65 inch/lbs and let it dry. When I cleaned everything up and reassembled the rifle it was shooting .25 MOA groups. Since then I have killed deer from 25 yards to 385 yards with one shot kills. At close to 3200 FPS muzzle velocity the point blank range is just under 400 yards. The excellent Hornady 117 grain SPBT sitting on top of 53.5 grains of H4831 and set off by a CCI Bench Rest Primer kills like the Hammer of Thor. As a matter of fact that is what a somewhat poetic friend of mine calls this rifle.

Ah those crystal mornings, chuggin' up to Black Rock in the old olds.
Bundled next to my Dad in the front seat, knowing I'd freeze soon.
The anticipation as a 9 year old in the late fifties. Mickey Mantle,
Marilyn Monroe... When would Dad let me shoot a deer!
Yes, My first rifle deer each year is still taken with my Dad's Savage
model 99 F in .300 Savage. Incredibly accurate, powerful, and oh such a delight to take afield, with a tiny Leupold atop. The great Northeastern
deer rifle. (Seen it referred to as that often.. I concur)!
One shot every year (43 in its life), and it's polished and put away!
Actually it's handled quite a lot during the year... You know kinda to really feel my Dad's presence!

That sounds like more than just a hunting gun. It sure is glad to know you find solace in the passion all of us are obsessed with.
