.260 & Yotes....

[Powerstroke]

I'll have to say I'm really starting to like the new .260. I made it to the western slope this weekend to go yote hunting. The first set-up we were about to give up on with the electronic call... we'd been sitting for about 15/20 min. My hunting buddy pulled his mouth call out and shortly after the first yote presented himself on the far side of the wash....145 yrds. I'd set myself up behind a huge flat rock that was basically a great shooting bench. The 95gr V-max hit head on in the center of the chest and that was it. ( suprisingly no damage to be seen on the hide ).. not that we keep them.
I ended up with two more after that that my buddy called in, both off hand and running... ( LUCKY ) !! The second @ about 50yds and major damage.. the 3rd @ about 75 yrds and even worse... didn't even take pics of the last one.
Had a great time.... saw lots of Mule Deer and several ok bulls.

Sorry the pics are labeled wrong....

Keep us informed of the good and the bad of your experience with your new 260. Needless to say I am following your experiences with more than a casual interest. A gunsmith is currently building a 260 for me. It should be ready in the not to distant future. Looking forward to getting it. Thanks. I am interested in your experiences with the rifle as well as the caliber.
