I loaded up some of these 100 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips for my Model 700 260 Rem. Best results were with 41.2 grs. of RL15. A 5 shot group at 100 yards was .8".

Here are the details:

R-P case
CCI BR-2 match primer
41.7 grs. RL15
100 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip
C.O.L. is 2.77"

I don't have a chrono yet, so I'm not sure what the velocity is. I'm guessing 3050 or so out of my 22" barrel. I'm going to increase the powder charge a little, and see what the 2nd 5 shot group looks like.

Hi,
I use to have a 260Rem, had a bad barrel job.
I now have a 6.5x55SE and have got the Noslers in 100 and 120gr. In two weeks time will test them with H4350 (or AR2209 in Australia).
I have a 24" barrel in my Sako Varmint.
Shot some 107gr Sierra MK's the other day. Winchester brass
CCI BR-2
49gr H4350
3100fps
0.35 MOA @ 300 metres.

Aussie Hunter

PS. Will also be trying:
140gr Sierra GK
140gr Berger VLD
120gr Sierra MK
140gr Speer SP

My 2nd group, with .5 grs. more RL15, went into 1.25". It was pretty windy, so I may have to try it again.

P.S., I shot a coyote with the 100 NBT this past winter, and blew a huge hole in him at 70 yards. I would be a little hesitant to use this bullet on deer, but would have no doubt in it's effectivness at close range when placed in the ribs, away from the shoulder, or any other heavy bone. BTW, muzzle speed is 3030 fps with 43 grs. RL15, 22" barrel
