143 ELD-X or 129 Gr LRAB (its just that they're bloody expensive for the same result)

142 Nosler ABLR has been doing a good job. Picked 200 up for a great price. Might need to reconsider when I run out, as they are a crazy price.

143eld-x on Reds and Sika

120 and 140 speer gold dots good medicine good price also

140gn AMAX or ELDMS or Speer 140g Gold Dots. Mines an 18in bbl so the good ol AMAX are do everything pill, up close to 400 or so

I have shot 2 reds so far with 135 atip(you can trial some if you want, going thru Taihape on Monday if ya want to grab some) from a short barrel prc doing 2810.seemed to kill like the 143 eldx.a bit pencilly but both dead on there feet.147 is undisputed heavyweight champ I believe.

I load Craigs .260 with 124 Hammer Hunters at 2,900 fps. He loves them. But then he would 'cos Dad is paying for them.
Very accurate. He shoots deer with them at all sorts of ranges. I use N550 powder.

155gr Lapua Mega and 140gr Naturalis, king of the 6.5 pills inside 300m, used em both in a 260 and smashed everything from goats n pigs thru to Donkeys, horses and a scrub bull
