His rifle is a Fierce Titanium, has a longer 25" tube and a mag box that enables me to load out to 2.92" OAL which helps free up a bit more room for powder. 67.5grs of RL26 is the load we settled on. Had it up to 70.0grs / 2975 fps but the odd shell extracted with a hint of stickyness.
Hunting partner took this nice buck with his 300WSM 200gr Accubond @ 2890 fps. One shot through the timber @ 85 yards into the high shoulder. He snapped off his G2 on the right side making him a 7x3. Very heavy bodied
I'd go 160gr Accubond, should have a slight edge over a Partition as the distances grow longer. Not that it really matters, dead is dead, but why not use the best?
thanks guys he was smile from ear to ear all night. The load was 33.0grs H4895
Bullet nicked the top of the heart and exited the chest, unrecovered. Buck hunched up hard at the hit and just about went down, wobbled for a few yards then piled up
So proud of my 10yr old nephew he got his first deer this evening. 90 yard one shot kill with a Remington Model Seven 260 Remington shooting 129gr Nosler ABLR @ 2325 fps.

Most anywhere in the US won't ship up here so it's a moot point. My point is I have had it on order through a Canadian distributor for two years with not a single box making it up to me yet. :(
