I just got my daughter a .260 Rem in a Ruger 77 MKII, Rubber Stock, blue metal. Long story short, My daughter shot it at the shop after installing a scope and she shot 2 120gr Nosler BT Remington Factory loads through a common hole. She batted her pretty eyes, melted Daddys heart(wallet) and we took it home.
After some research we loaded some shells with so much confidence that we went ahead and loaded a whole box ( i figured it was good practice for her and I could always pull them later) and headed to the range to prove the point.
I shot the gun this round and look where the first three ended up.
Her group is on the white paper....mine is on the "target tan"
This is one my smallest ever groups at 100yds and it was fired from junky old sporter wt Ruger, with a junky old Tasco 3-9x50mm world class scope in junky old tasco rings and weaver style bases.
After moving the p.o.i. to the right spot I fired another round just to be sure and darned if it didn't hit the same spot with a third one holer, from a barrel that was Waaaay hotter than I should have ever gotten a new barrel.
.....Thanks for Looking
