In my last 260 I loaded the 140 grain Hornady Spire point. With my new 260 I am going to start with 120 Sierra pro-hunter. I was impressed with how they performed in the 280. I think if they shoot well in my gun I will settle in with the 125 grain Nosler Partition. If I was going for elk again I would load the 140 grain Barnes X bullet as I saw my buddy drop an elk like a lead ballon with my old 260 and Barnes X bullets.
