    Pa buck with jacketed




    I know, not with cast, but.... Shot him yesterday morning with my 260 Rem. I use jacketed in smaller bore rifles, never really explored cast in small bore. I don't often shoot buck, but was blessed to shoot him yesterday morn. Notice the cool eye guard above his left eye. Shot at 60 yards, hit a bit high, dropped immediately and died very quickly. 72 lbs of meat in the freezer!!

    Congrats on a beautiful whitetail! That's as pretty a buck as they come. I'm just now getting comfy with cast bullets, and my confidence in them is growing every year, but a few small calibers don't seem to lend themselves to casties as well.

    Very good.

    Nice buck!

    The .260 Remington is a good round, my oldest boy's first deer rifle is a Remington Model 7 in .260. I still have cast bullets from my failed time with a Swedish Mauser I'm gonna try in it.

    I'm pretty sure a guy could develop a good deer load for a 6.5 using cast, I'd done it with a 7mm, wasn't that hard and it's not much bigger.

    Congrats on the deer, he's a good one to be sure.

    Very nice buck. I'm also a fan of the .260 cartridge. So far mine has accounted for 3 one shot kills. Its hard to improve on that.
