The only expereince I have personally with the 260 Rem. was a few year ago while mule deer hunting with a group of guys in eastern Montana. A youngster killed a fine 4x4 at about 275 with his 260 Rem. , Rem. Model 7. I have no clue what bullet that he was using. Personally I think that the 6.5 mm rounds such as this and the 6.5x55 SE are very good for medium game, though not popular in comparison to the "usual" deer cartriges.

You guys are really making me want one, again!
