Thread: 260 short barrel

Hi
My hunting mates have a Rem M7 (16") that loves 120 gn sierra MKs, and the other is a Win M70 (16") which loves 140 gn sierra SP. Both are lethal on NZ game due to the excellent sectional density that 6.5 mm bullets have. Both of these rifles shoot well under MOA and are a pleasure to shoot. For some reason when they hit the animals just drop. You won't be disappointed with a 260, they definitely punch above their weight, but then most of the 6.5s do.
