Thread: 260rem 140gr amax any good thoughts ?

But that doesn't make the 6.5 magic. And mostly they use hard bullets like the Nautilus and other big heavy blunt ones within quite close ranges don't they?

Dale, I reckon that at about your 2750 fps you have got yourself a really handy all round calibre in a superbly accurate rifle. I would now get to know its limitations on game, rather than test its extremes on game.
