Yes, I used these regularly in a Swede actioned rifle built for Military Benchrest competion. They were at least the equal of the Sierra MK, maybe a little better. Had many 100 point targets with up to ten X,s on the MR 31 target. ( ten shots at 100 yards)

Thet are awful long and you will have to seat them quite deep to fit the magazine. If you just want them for paper and will load singly go for it. I tried the 129gr SST a similar bullet and didn`t like the depth I had to seat to, and used the bullets in my 6.5x55 instead.

It is the only bullet I shoot out of my Steyr 6.5x55. Dunno about seating in a short cartridge like the 260. Run it 2550 and watch the deer fall straight down.

My son and I both use A-max. He got me started with the boolits.

My 260ai loves the 140gr. I haven't found a good load yet for the 120gr.

It's the best all round 6.5 bullet I have used. My 260 loves them. Incredibly accurate and deadly on game
