I would like to see how the nosler 260 hp would of done on expansion and penetration. I have been trying to gather 260's as they have been discontinued but they sure shoot good out of my gun. I have some 300gr pp but I think at the ranges I shoot at deer that the 260 is a much better choice. How in the heck did you end up with so much juice?

I can show you this 260.... It is the only 260 I have ever recovered from an animal. It went clean through and hit the stump on the other side of the deer.




The weight of the recovered bullet would have been a little bit more but the nose lead fell out of the cup when I was cleaning it up for these pictures.

The buck really showed the effects of the Nosler, even though it was not the best bullet placement on my part, He made it about 50 feet up hill then his legs gave out... I know the picture says yards but I get yards and feet mixed up all the time.



Here is the 'Rest of the Story'

Wife buys me juice. What you mean? Doesn't everyone drink a glass of juice every day? Oh, you meant not everyone's wife shops at Sam's. Wife buys me juice. Me, i bring wife dead deer, dead fish, make things from dead trees, and tend the garden.

For some reason your statement took me back to younger days Ron. My dad was a heck of a joker. One of his favorites was when he could catch my aunt/his sister-in-law eating a roast beef sandwich. He would say "you do know that sandwich is made with meat from a dead cow, don't you?" Even knowing the context, she could not take another bite. For some reason, it didn't work with ham or chicken. Aren't people funny?

www.wideners.com has the 260 HPs for under $24 for 50.

Thanks Sabotloader for the good info. I can't wait ill next deer season. GM-54-120; what a deal, I just ordered 150 bullets from them.That gives me about 250 rounds now. Now I can practice more with this previously expensive as heck bullet. Wideners is actually fairly close to where i hunt in Virginia. I need one good overtime check to come in now and I will be set for life on Noslers 260s. I need to find out if they have a salesroom open to the public. My wife was actually going to buy me some of these for my birthday at 42 bucks a box. I got 3 boxes for 69 bucks. Thanks for great info.

Glad to help. Locally they are $49-57 a box so i couldnt pass them up.

I bought 10 boxes total and sold a few locally (small profit) but kept enough for many years of hunting. I had to get some of the .429-250s also. Im hoping they group as well as the 45-260s.

BTW they ship fairly fast too.
