260 Rem with
« on: November 13, 2020, 05:55:00 PM »
I have been shooting a 260 with 140 accubonds and 43.5 grains of IMR 7828SSC for several years.  Not fast but shoots a 3 shot one hole group out of a 700 mountain rifle with great results on deer out to 400 yards.  Couldnt get the accubonds so going with 140 Sierra Gamekings.  Never loaded them so looking for any feedback on this bullet.  Loading tomorrow and going WTD hunting sunday.

Thanks.

My father in law has put a lot of elk to sleep with his 7mm mag with sierra gamekings.  He swears by those bullets. 

I've read through many good reviews for them on midwayusa and will likely use them in the future.

Just came back in from shooting the 140 Gamekings with 43.5 7828SSC.  1.5 high and touching at 100.  Just right for tomorrows WT buck (I hope). :chuckle:

The rifle will shoot even better once I tweak the final charge, seating depth etc.  Gonna stay with this bullet for awhile to see how it does on game. 


Thanks for the advice.

I've been pleased with the little 85 grain Game kings in .243.  3 deer that were dead before they hit the ground.

I’ve used GKs in 270 Win and 708. With great results. This year I’ll hopefully have a report on the 120GK out of my 260 M7.
