I've got a 260 and hunt with it. I have used 120 grain Nosler BT's and now use 100 gr Nosler BT's. Just for info, with the 120 grainer I use Reloader 17. With the 100 grainer I use IMR 4064. If you intend to hunt with the rifle, either bullet will work fine. Some might say that both bullets are too light, but with the 120 grainer I wanted to get as close to 3000 fps as possible, but my barrel was too short to get where I wanted. So I switched to the 100 gr Ballistic Tips and they seem to work just fine. If a 100 grain bullet isn't enough, why don't they say that about that same weight in the 243 or the 257 Roberts. It works fine.
