I shoot the 260 Remington and have had great success with the Nosler 120 gr Ballistic Tip. Right now I'm using the 100 grain Ballistic Tip, but haven't used it much except for one large pig and one coyote (it was deadly on both). I hunted for one season with that 120 grainer and it was a very deadly bullet. The farthest I had to trail anything was about 20 yards. I'd have stayed with the 120 grainer but wanted more velocity.
