Adding a 260 Remington to the safe

Beautiful little rifle congrats. Most of the Remington's had a 1 in 9 twist but there's still lots of bullets for you to use.

If you can’t get it done with a 125grain Partition or 130 AccuBond, you need something bigger than a 6.5 imho. Not too many things go far with a well placed bullet of either of those above at sensible distances.

The 129 gr Hornady is another good one. The 120 gr Ballistic Tip is a really accurate bullet and should be on the list. I bet almost any of the 130 gr bullets from any of the big makers will work awesome in a 9 twist. When I had a 1 in 9 twist 260 the shorter length 140's did fine too. My Tikka is a 8 twist but the 9 does well too.
