Last weekend I received my Savage model 11 long range hunter in .260 Rem and need to find a good load. It has a 26" barrel with 1:8 twist. I already have some 140gr SMK's so I will probably start with those, but I'm not limiting myself to them while developing loads. I'm also using new Rem 260 brass. Anybody have a good pet load they would like to share with me?

BTW, I shot some factory Remington accutip 120gr through it during barrel break-in and the last 5 shot group was under 0.5". So far I'm impressed with my first Savage.
